Illinois House
Graciela Guzmán beats incumbent Sen. Natalie Toro in another test of Democratic establishment muscle
With almost 90% of the vote counted, Guzmán was declared the winner over Toro, defeating her with almost 50% of the vote to Toro’s 30%. Guzmán won despite raising less than $658,000, or about a quarter of the amount of money raised for Toro.
Crawford had the backing of Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch. However, Guzmán beats Senate incumbent Toro in another test of Democratic establishment muscle.
