Three downstate Republican incumbents won reelection in districts drawn in GOP-majority areas.
U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood crosses her fingers while talking with supporters after arriving at her election night gathering for the 14th Congressional District race on Nov. 8, 2022, in Plainfield.
In the far west suburban 14th District, where President Joe Biden made an appearance to try to help boost U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood’s prospects in the closing days, she prevailed over Republican Scott Gryder in a redrawn district that Gryder thought gave him a good chance to win.The Associated Press called it for Underwood, who had 53.7% of the vote to 46.3% for Gryder, according to unofficial results.
Gryder had not conceded as of Wednesday afternoon. On Tuesday night, he noted, “We know we left it all out there.” “They came out here to get away from it, and then they vote the same way, and they’re going to have the same outcome at the end of the day,” he said. U.S. Rep. Sean Casten held off Republican Keith Pekau, the mayor of Orland Park, days after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy came to town to campaign for Pekau in the 6th District contest in the southwest and west suburbs.
