Locally, first-term sheriff John Idleburg, a Democrat, is seeking reelection, and longtime Deputy Mark Vice is looking to unseat him.

Other races we will be watching this election include the governor's race where Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, will face Republican challenger, State Senator Darren Bailey, and the the state attorney general race where incumbent Kwame Raoul faces Republican challenger Thomas DeVoreare.

Illinois voters are also asked to weigh in on an amendment to the state constitution allowing workers the right to organize and bargain collectively. The bill, which was drafted by the Illinois General Assembly in 2021, provides that “employees shall have the fundamental right to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating wages, hours and working conditions and to “protect their economic welfare and safety at work.”

In order for the measure to pass, 60 percent of Illinois voters will need to vote in favor of the amendment for it to be added to the constitution.
