Races to watch
While Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker is running unopposed in the Democratic primary, several Republican candidates are hoping to face him in the November election.
In the battle for U.S. Senate, there are some major contenders on both sides of the aisle after Sen. Dick Durbin’s decided to retire following more than 30 years in office.
Primaries will take place in all of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts, with races in the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 9th districts among those being closely watched. Also on the ballot are contests for Illinois Comptroller and Cook County Board President.

Illinois State Police investigating fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez by ICE agents in Franklin Park
Illinois State Police are now investigating federal agents on the front lines of last year’s immigration sweep around Chicago known as “Operation Midway Blitz.”
ISP confirmed they’re investigating the death of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, who was shot “at close range” by a federal agent in Franklin Park last September.
ICE agents said Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, originally from Mexico, was trying to flee when they attempted to stop his vehicle, and he tried to ram agents with his car.
Franklin Park police asked the state police to open the investigation shortly after receiving new information from the Illinois Accountability Commission last week.
The Cook County State’s Attorney says it will play a supportive role in the ISP investigation.
