Biss, Kennedy, and Pritzker are all very different candidates. Biss and Pritzker are progressive-minded, but Biss is pretty much the anti-Pritzker. Weird that a certain democratic speaker has somehow still managed to win over both the leading democratic hopefuls...

The democratic party in Illinois is huge and leadership has outsize influence. Kennedy comes across a bit more centrist. His public criticism of Madigan and the machine as a democrat is refreshing. Hoping he can pull through.
