91st House District

Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch stumped for House candidate Sharon Chung and other Democrats at the McLean County Democrats' Obama Legacy Dinner at Illinois State University.

Democrat Sharon Chung and Republican Scott Preston have attracted big money in their run for the Illinois House. Bloomington-Normal hasn’t seen a House race this competitive or costly in modern history.

Illinois House candidates Sharon Chung and Scott Preston outlined differences on taxes, the budget and criminal justice during a debate Tuesday evening at Illinois State University.

You can expect big money from outside of Bloomington-Normal to finance one of the marquee Statehouse races in Illinois in November. Democratic McLean County Board member Sharon Chung of Bloomington faces Republican and Normal Town Council member Scott Preston in the 91st District.

There were primaries in both major parties, an indicator the 91st is one of the increasingly rare districts in Illinois that are balanced enough to avoid a predetermined partisan outcome.

A second Democratic candidate says she's running for state representative in the new 91st District.

Normal Town Council member Scott Preston said Wednesday he plans to run for the Illinois House in the redrawn 91st House District.
