The2022 Illinois's 1st congressional district election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect theUnited States representative forIllinois's 1st congressional district , concurrently withelections for the other U.S. House districts in Illinois and therest of the country , as well as the2022 U.S. Senate race in Illinois , otherelections to theUnited States Senate , and variousstate andlocal elections . Primary elections were held on June 28. Before the2020 redistricting cycle , the 1st district was primarily based in theSouth Side ofChicago . Under the new congressional map, although the 1st district is still based in Chicago, including portions ofBronzeville ,Hyde Park ,Grand Crossing ,Morgan Park , andRoseland , it now reaches down to the southwest and takes in a collection of exurban and rural areas inCook County ,Will County , andKankakee County . The district as a whole is slightly under 50% black.[ 1] [ 2]
Since 1993, the district had been represented by DemocratBobby Rush . On January 3, 2022, Rush announced that he would retire rather than seek a sixteenth term in office.[ 3]
Because Rush announced his retirement just six months before the primaries, the race to succeed him was relatively brief. A wide field of candidates ran in the Democratic primary, including state senatorJacqueline Collins , Chicago alderwomanPat Dowell , business professorJonathan Jackson , and attorney Karin Norington-Reaves, whom Rush endorsed as his successor. Jackson won the primary with a low plurality and advanced to the general election, as did nonprofit founder Eric Carlson, who narrowly defeated gun dealer Jeff Regnier in the Republican primary.[ 4] [ 1] Oscar De Priest in 1929.[ 5] 118th United States Congress in January 2023, joining theCongressional Progressive Caucus .[ 6]
On January 5,Chicago City Council memberPat Dowell , who had previously been running a long-shot bid forIllinois Secretary of State , announced that she would drop out of that race and instead run to succeed Bobby Rush.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] Jonathan Jackson , a business professor, announced a bid for the seat. He is the son of the ReverendJesse Jackson and the brother of former congressmanJesse Jackson Jr. [ 10] Jacqueline Collins entered the race in March.[ 11] [ 12]
In total, seventeen candidates made the primary ballot. The candidates rarely criticized each other, primarily campaigning on their own experience and life story in an attempt to carve out a unique position in the crowded race.[ 2] canvassing and less on advertising compared to nearby primary elections.[ 13]
On June 20, a week before the primary, Jackson attracted controversy after hisFederal Election Commission filings revealed that his campaign had received over $1 million from PACs associated with thecryptocurrency industry, including $500,000 from a PAC largely funded by wealthy cryptocurrency executiveSam Bankman-Fried .[ 14]
Jackson was a vocal supporter of cryptocurrency during his campaign and listed it as one of his key campaign issues.[ 15] criticized Jackson for presenting himself as a progressive despite taking large donations from super PACs, while Dowellaccused him of putting a "for sale sign" on Rush's House seat.[ 16] [ 17] criticism for failing to file timely financial disclosures with theFederal Election Commission . Collinsaccused him of intentionally delaying his financial disclosures in order to hide who he was receiving money from. In response to the controversy, Jackson claimed that the donations were unsolicited and that his delay in filing disclosures was a mistake.[ 17] Chuy Garcia in the4th district Democratic primary ,Nikki Budzinski in the13th district Democratic primary , andRodney Davis in the15th district Republican primary .[ 18]
