Many of the races have already been decided locally—although there are a few tight ones still up for grabs (such as the Congressional races between Tammy Duckworth and Joe Walsh; Bill Foster and Judy Biggert; and Robert Dold and Brad Schneider).
This Windy City Times Election issues features a Guide to the Gays, which lists LGBT candidates. Follow the link: www.windycitymediagroup.com/lgbt/Elections-Guide-to-the-gays/40083.html . There are several still in the running for everything from judicial posts to Metropolitan Water Reclamation commissioner.
As always, there are political charts that show recommendations and endorsements from various organizations and associations as well as candidates' scores on our questionnaire. (Windy City Times does not endorse any candidates.)
