伊利诺伊州选民将于周二选出未来两年的联邦众议员。该州共有17个国会选区，目前由14名民主党人和3名共和党人分别占据。选情分析机构认为，几乎所有选区都将稳稳留在现任党派手中。不过，有5个空缺席位的现任民主党人选择退休。
Illinois voters on Tuesday will pick their U.S. representatives for the next two years. The Land of Lincoln is home to 17 congressional districts, which are currently split between 14 Democrats and three Republicans. Election handicappers rate almost all of these races as safe to remain in hands of their incumbent parties. However, there are five open seats in which the incumbent Democrat is retiring.
其中两位民主党人——第二选区的罗宾·凯利和第八选区的拉贾·克里希纳穆尔提——原本竞逐本党参议员提名，但均败给了副州长朱莉安娜·斯特拉顿。
Two of those Democrats — Robin Kelly in the 2nd District and Raja Krishnamoorthi in the 8th District — opted to run for their party's Senate nomination, but both came up short behind Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton.
库克县专员唐娜·米勒是第二选区接替凯利的民主党提名人，而前众议员梅丽莎·比恩则是第八选区的提名人。
Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller is the Democratic nominee to replace Kelly in the 2nd District, and former Rep. Melissa Bean is the nominee in the 8th District.
比恩希望在离开国会16年后重夺旧席；她曾在2010年“茶党浪潮”中败给后来成为特朗普总统批评者的共和党人乔·沃尔什。
Bean is hoping to regain her old seat after a 16-year absence from Congress, having been defeated by Republican-turned-President-Trump foe Joe Walsh in the 2010 Tea Party wave.
另外三位民主党人——众议员赫苏斯·“丘伊”·加西亚、丹尼·戴维斯和简·夏科夫斯基——在长期从政后，均将于本届任期结束时卸下芝加哥地区的席位。
Three other Democrats — Reps. Jesús "Chuy" García, Danny Davis and Jan Schakowsky — are all stepping down from their Chicagoland seats at the end of this term after long careers of public service.
加西亚极有可能由其前助手帕蒂·加西亚接替（两人无亲属关系），因为加西亚在初选投票截止日前夕退选，使帕蒂·加西亚顺利获得第四选区提名。
García will likely be replaced by his former staffer Patty Garcia, who is not related to him, after he dropped out right before the ballot deadline for the primary, allowing Patty Garcia to secure the nomination for the 4th District seat.
州众议员拉肖恩·福特是第七选区接替戴维斯的民主党提名人，他在拥挤的初选中以微弱优势击败芝加哥市财政官梅丽莎·康耶尔斯-厄文。
State Rep. La Shawn Ford is the Democratic nominee for the 7th District to replace Davis, narrowly defeating Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin in a crowded primary.
现任第14个任期的夏科夫斯基表示，她退休是为了“把火炬传递给新一代”。
Schakowsky, who is in her 14th term, has said she was stepping down to pass the torch to a new generation.
前埃文斯顿市长丹尼尔·比斯在备受瞩目的初选中，以3个百分点优势击败进步派网红卡特·阿布加扎莱等众多候选人，赢得提名。投票将于美东时间晚上8点截止。
Former Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss won the high-profile primary to replace her over progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh, among a crowded field of candidates, by 3 points. Polls close at 8 p.m. EST.
