WNIJ partnered with the League of Women Voters of DeKalb County to host virtual candidate forums on Feb. 15 featuring candidates running for the Illinois’ 76th representative district and Senate District 37.
You can watch the forums here.
The Illinois primary will be held March 19, 2024.
Forum Schedule
Candidates appear below in alphabetical order by forum. The League has an “Empty Chair” policy which prohibits a full forum with only one candidate. In the case without two participating candidates, the remaining candidate is offered to give a 2- minute statement.
