The Illinois gubernatorial race shaped up to become one of the most expensive in history, awash in millions of dollars.
First term Incumbent J.B Pritzker -- a Democrat and a member of the family who controls the Hyatt Hotel enterprise -- is running for reelection against Republican state Sen. Darren Bailey.
Pritzker, endorsed by former President Barack Obama, has polled ahead and spent lavishly on the campaign trail. Bailey, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has been backed largely by mega-donor Richard Uihlein.
The race has largely focused on issues like COVID-19 mitigation, reproductive rights and Chicago crime.
At the congressional level, Democrat Tammy Duckworth is seeking a second term as the junior senator from Illinois, facing off with good odds against Republican lawyer Kathy Salvi, who won the GOP nomination in a seven-way primary.
