Quigley Secures 8th Term In IL 5th District: NYT

ILLINOIS — U.S. Congressman Mike Quigley (D-IL 5) won reelection Tuesday night in the 5th Congressional District, according to the New York Times. He was facing a familiar opponent. For the fourth time, the Chicago resident squared off with challenger Tommy Hanson for the two-year seat.

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

UNOFFICIAL RESULTS (as of 10 a.m. Wednesday with 95 percent of vote in, according to New York Times/Associated Press)

Hanson — 33 percent (105,734 votes)

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.

The last time a Republican held the seat was when Michael P. Flanagan was elected in 1994. He served one term.

Prior to being elected to Congress, Quigley served on the Cook County Board of Commissioners from 1998 to 2009.

Quigley is currently the highest ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development, and expects to serve as Chair if Democrats take the majority in the House of Representatives.
