Multiple people on Twitter, including Dave Wasserman, are calling the election for Marie Newman.

1. Remind me why he is a pariah?

[mucifer]

6. He always votes with the republicans and his daddy gave him the seat

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. He's PRO-LIFE

And he has always voted with the pro-lifers, even in extreme cases.

[mucifer]

15. and anti Obamacare. He is only a dem because his dad was and had the seat before him

[Demsrule86]

2. She can win the district right? I don't like this guy but I want to keep a Democrat in office.

[Demguy81]

5. Cook reports it as D+6

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois%27s_3rd_congressional_district

This is the district last year where the Republicans ran Arthur Jones, the literal nazi.

[Demsrule86]

21. I remember that now.

Well thank God...this guy was a warm body only and we don't need that in a +6 district.

[splunge63]

8. She'll win in a walk

[Demsrule86]

20. Excellent news...the guy she beat who's name I can't spell is an idiot...

[Demguy81]

3. Multiple reasons

Anti-choice, anti-gay marriage, anti-obamacare

4. Bit of a DINO, IIRC, and is...

...anti-choice. Thought to have a lot of Republicans voting for him.

I’m not in his district, so am happy to be corrected by anyone who is.

7. Lipinski's a prominent anti-Choice Democrat

A nice guy - but we're probably better off without him.

[mucifer]

9. Looks too close to call to me but fingers crossed.

10. BEST news of the night. eom

[Demguy81]

11. This is the presumed R nominee

Appears to be the minority leader of the Will County Board.

12. Here's govtrack.us's evaluation, and note those of advocacy

organizations. His record is not the most conservative of the conservative Dems their districts send to congress, but solidly in the blue dog group, I think officially numbering 27 out of our 235 total this session. In 2018 he barely beat challenger Marie Newman, who is an Emily's List candidate.

Go, Marie!

Emily's List WHAT WE DO: Seeking to put women into office who can make significant contributions to education, health care, voting rights, and economic equality, we have systematically defined a strategic approach to winning elections that drive progressive change.

14. Up to 83%

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/17/us/elections/results-illinois-house-district-3-primary-election.html

Marie Newman up 47.5% to 43.8%

[Demguy81]

16. ANNNNNND NYTimes has officially called it

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/17/us/elections/results-illinois-house-district-3-primary-election.html

Only 8 more precincts left to count. Unclear how many absentee/mail in ballots are left, but turnout of ~101K is already beating 2018's of ~95K.

17. Good!

[Celerity]

18. Wonderful news, Lipinski ran a despicable partially RW-backed

2018 campaign where he viciously smeared Newman as a Holocaust denier and anti- Catholic. Newman once again had great endorsements this time around including EMILY's List again.

So happy to see this anti-LGBTQ bigot go down. He is a rabid pro lifer, voted against the ACA, refused to endorse Obama, anti Dreamer, etc etc as well.

Now hopefully we can get the even worse Henry Cuellar out in 2022 by running a decent centre left candidate and not a far left one like Cisneros (it still was close).

Great news though!!

19. Good luck Marie!

GO DEMS!!!!!!
