Democrats had a big night statewide, once again winning all of Illinois’s constitutional offices and seeing Democratic U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth coast to a second term.
Duckworth becomes the first woman to be re-elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois. Three other Democratic incumbents won by substantial margins… Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Comptroller Susana Mendoza, and Treasurer Michael Frerichs.
And former state treasurer Alexi Giannoulias made a political comeback by winning his race for Illinois Secretary of State, keeping Democrats in charge of the office that Jesse White held for more than 20 years. Democrats also retained control of the Illinois Supreme Court.
