Kinzinger, Schilling Win in Illinois

Iraq veteran and Republican Adam Kinzinger has defeated Democratic congresswoman Debbie Halvorson in Illinois’s Eleventh District, and Republican Bobby Schilling, the owner of a pizza place in Moline, has defeated Democratic Rep. Phil Hare in Illinois’s Seventeenth District. Our own Matthew Continetti had both of these races on his radar back in February and March of this year. Other incumbent Democrats in President Obama’s home state have lost, including Rep. Bill Foster to Republican Bill Hultgren.
