Hanson To Face Quigley In 5th District In November: Unofficial Results

ILLINOIS — Maybe the fourth time will be a charm for Republican challenger Tommy Hanson as he's set to face U.S. Congressman Mike Quigley (D-IL 5) in November following Tuesday's primary in Illinois. Hanson was challenged by a write-in candidate, Frank Rowder, while Quigley ran unopposed.

Though results are unofficial, Chicago Tribune declared both Hanson and Quigley winners soon after the polls closed at 7 p.m.

Hanson, a businessman, lost to Quigley in 2008, 2018 and 2020. Quigley has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives since 2009.

Results of the race for Illinois' 5th Congressional District are unofficial as of 7 p.m. The two-year seat will be up for grabs in the general election.

Quigley had no opponent due to withdrawals and disqualifications. Jerico Matias Cruz, Jonathan Bishop and Dan Wozniczka were all on the ballot at some point before being removed.

"I have spent more than four decades in public service, including my time as a Cook County Commissioner where I worked to increase transparency within the Cook County Board of Commissioners," Quigley recently told Patch in response to an election questionnaire. "My experience and dedication to my district mean that I am uniquely positioned to serve my constituents effectively."

Both Quigley and Hanson are residents of Chicago.

Illinois Congressional District 5 includes all or parts of Chicago, Inverness, Arlington Heights, Barrington Hills, Des Plaines, Palatine, Mount Prospect, Deer Park, Kildeer, Lake Zurich, Long Grove, and North Barrington.
