You can count on incumbent Martin J. Moylan of Des Plaines to sponsor and support common-sense laws to curb gun violence, such as a bump stock ban. He also has secured more than $100 million in capital investment for his northwest suburban district to improve local infrastructure. Another reason to vote for Moylan: From what we see, his opponent, Libertarian Glenn Olofson, isn’t actively campaigning.
