Democratic primary

edit

On November 12, 2015, Chicago Alderman Howard Brookins Jr. was reported to be circulating petitions to run for Congress, leading to speculation that Rush might retire.[4] Brookins had previously circulated petitions in 2013, but declined to run at that time when Rush announced for re-election.[5] Brookins announced that this time he would run for the seat, regardless of Rush's decision.[6] In November 2015, Rush announced that he would run for re-election.[7][8]

Former Cure Violence director and 2014 gubernatorial candidate Tio Hardiman had announced he would challenge Rush for the Democratic nomination.[9] Hardiman withdrew in order to run for Cook County Clerk of Court.[10]
