Congressman Eric Sorensen Secures Democratic Primary Nomination

Today, Congressman Eric Sorensen, running unopposed, officially became the Democratic nominee for Congress in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District. He issued the following statement:

“I first ran for Congress because I wanted to be a trusted voice for my neighbors in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District. I’m honored to again be the Democratic nominee and look forward to continuing the work of being a trusted representative and delivering real results for Central & Northwestern Illinois.

Since beginning my first term, I’ve seen the impact that working across the aisle can have on our communities. From lowering costs and bringing tax dollars back home, to supporting our police and infrastructure, we’ve made huge progress on the issues that matter most to middle-class families. I look forward to bringing more progress home and again earning the support of the people of Illinois’ 17th District in November.”
