BREAKING: IL-13 Ranked 9th Most Competitive House Race in the Country

As Health Care Remains Top Issue on the Ballot, Davis’ Support for the Lawsuit to Dismantle the ACA is Under Scrutiny

Today, the Washington Post released its latest round of “the 10 House seats most likely to flip in November” and Illinois’ 13th Congressional District made the list at #9.

  • Illinois 13th (Republican-held; new to list): Moderate Republican Rodney Davis is seeking a fourth term, but Democrats are targeting this farming district after Davis won his 2018 race by less than a percentage point. He’ll face a rematch against Democrat Betsy Dirksen Londrigan, who has been outraising Davis and is trying once again to make this race about health care and the fact Davis voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

    • This rating comes as Betsy Dirksen Londrigan outraised Davis for the 3rd quarter in a row – $800k to $510k – and ended Q2 with almost $400k more cash on hand.

    Meanwhile, Congressman Davis continues to come under fire for his votes to dismantle the ACA and his support for a lawsuit that would strip health coverage from 736,000 Illinoisans in the middle of a pandemic.
