WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton returns to Illinois on Thursday evening to rally voters in north suburban Vernon Hills with the primary looming on Tuesday.

Clinton touches down in her native Illinois after swings Thursday in Florida and North Carolina — states also holding votes on Tuesday.

Clinton will appear at 7:15 p.m. the Sullivan Community Center, 635 Aspen Drive in Vernon Hills, which straddles Lake and Cook counties. The village is in the 10th Congressional District where both of the Democratic rivals battling for a House seat — Brad Schneider and Nancy Rotering — back Clinton over Bernie Sanders.

Bill Clinton rallied voters in Chicago and Evanston on Tuesday.

From the Clinton campaign: “At the event, she will discuss her plans to break down the economic barriers that favor those at the top and build an economy that works for everyone. Clinton will also encourage Illinoisans to take advantage of early voting before March 14th.
