CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois state Sen. Jim Oberweis has come out on top in the scrum of Republican candidates seeking to reclaim the 14th District U.S. congressional seat from first-term Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood. The Associated Press on Friday declared Oberweis the winner over six other candidates in Tuesday's Republican primary. Underwood flipped the longtime GOP seat in 2018 when she defeated Rep Randy Hultgren, who was elected in 2010. The 14th District, west of Chicago, includes city suburbs and rural areas.
