Progressive Illinois Dem primary list?

...does anyone know if there's a compiled list of Progressive primary candidates for Illinois office?

...who compiled the list?

...I've looked but I can't seem to find a list of Progressive only candidates...

...I don't want to vote for just any Dem but only Progressive primary candidates if I have the option...

...I'm not the greatest with computers, so thanks for any help...

I live in Cheri Bustos' district and haven't seen diddly-squat from - or about - any of the Dems running. Went hunting & found there are 6 Dems and 2 Repubs that will be vying for her seat in the primary. I looked for the same kind of info and couldn't find anything. 😕

I am seeing signs everywhere for Esther Joy King (R), though. She's got big money behind her. I'm hoping our Dems do a better job of getting themselves out there once we're through the primary and each party's candidate is chosen. I'm gonna be none too happy if I have to look at her stupid face for the next 2 years.

I'll bookmark this thread & will let you know if I run across anything!

Regardless of a D or P affiliation.

Is that your only qualification?
P or D?

...to vote for Progressive Dems if at all possible...

...we have/had a path to BBB and other important and necessary legislation but it's been blocked by two non-Progressive Dems...

...the pukes were never going to cooperate but I believe if they had a similar path as us they'd join ranks and use it in a heartbeat...

...if there's a choice between a Progressive Dem or non-Progressive Dem I want to vote for the Progressive Dem...

...I'm tired of wasting my vote on non-Progressive Dems...

I have seen promoted a few candidates with the P affiliation who have some un-progressive & questionable votes & talking points.
Some have no record to compare other than these things.

Campaigning & media trask talk that resulted in voting against Hillary Clinton, for example, turned out to be quite regressive for American society.
So I'm going with personal record before talk.

That's why I asked.

We have many outstanding Progressive Caucaus members who have proven their walk before talk.
Some, not so much.

Regardless of personal opinion, we still must support & vote blue before supporting the rise of a Republican.

In the end, this election is simply a choice between Blue or Red.
That's all we have to do.
