Overview

Democrats made substantial gains in congressional and state legislative elections this year. Nationally, the Associated Press projected that Democrats would win majorities in both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate, shifting party control of Congress. In Illinois, the results reinforced rather than reshaped the state’s balance of power: Democrats swept all six statewide constitutional offices and the open U.S. Senate seat, kept their 14–3 majority in the congressional delegation and appear positioned to expand their existing supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly, although several legislative races remain uncalled.

Statewide. Gov. JB Pritzker was declared the winner shortly after the polls closed at 7 p.m. and leads Republican Darren Bailey 59.8% to 36.9% in a rematch of their 2022 race – a margin of about 23 points, up from about 13 points four years ago. Pritzker’s 2,345,862 votes already exceed his 2022 total of 2,253,748, with about 91% of the estimated vote counted. He becomes the first Democrat elected to three terms as Illinois governor, and his running mate, former Deputy Gov. Christian Mitchell, will succeed Juliana Stratton as lieutenant governor. State Rep. Margaret Croke won the open comptroller’s race with 60.8%, and Attorney General Kwame Raoul (61.3%), Treasurer Michael Frerichs (61.9%) and Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias (64.5%) won re-election. Giannoulias was the top vote-getter on the ballot, with more than 2.5 million votes.

Illinois Senate. Senate Democrats entered the election with a 40–19 majority. The AP has called five Republican-held seats for Democrats, with the potential for as many as seven. The AP called the 24th, 26th, 32nd and 56th Districts for Democrats over Republican Sens. Seth Lewis, Darby Hills, Craig Wilcox and Erica Harriss, and called the open 33rd District seat vacated by Republican Sen. Don DeWitte for Michele Clark. Two Republican-held seats have not been called. In the 38th District, Sen. Sue Rezin leads Ernie Marcelain with all precincts reporting. In the 35th District, the counts disagree: unofficial county returns show Sen. Dave Syverson narrowly ahead of Sarah Mertens, while the less complete AP count shows Mertens ahead.

Illinois House. House Democrats entered the election with a 78–40 majority. The AP has called two Republican-held seats for Democrats, with a third conceded, and Democrats could gain as many as eight. The AP called the open 47th

District seat vacated by Republican Rep. Amy Grant for Erica Bray-Parker and the 52nd District for Maria Peterson over Rep. Martin McLaughlin, and Rep. Brandun Schweizer conceded the 104th District to Mary Catherine Roberson on Wednesday afternoon (not yet called by the AP). Democrats lead in three more Republican-held seats that have not been called: Amanda Zahorak leads Rep. Jennifer Sanalitro in the 48th, Ricky Rivard leads Rep. Dan Ugaste in the 65th and George McClellan Jr. leads Rep. Kevin Schmidt by 558 votes in the 114th. Republicans lead in two other uncalled races, with Rep. Jeff Keicher ahead in the 70th (according to county returns) and Rep. Scott Doody ahead in the 118th. The AP called the 64th District for Republican Rep. Tom Weber. No Democratic-held seat in either chamber is on track to change hands.

Congress. Illinois’ congressional delegation will remain at 14 Democrats and 3 Republicans, but it will include several new members, many of them familiar names in Illinois politics. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton will be Illinois’ next U.S. senator, succeeding retiring Sen. Dick Durbin after winning 60.9% of the vote and more than 2.4 million votes. New U.S. House members include Donna Miller (72.8%) in the 2nd District, Patty Garcia (70.9%) in the 4th, La Shawn Ford (89.0%) in the 7th, Melissa Bean (64.8%) in the 8th and Daniel Biss (75.8%) in the 9th. All 17 U.S. House races have been called, and every incumbent seeking re-election won.

Turnout. Final turnout figures are still pending, but more than 1.83 million Illinoisans voted before Election Day, either in person or by mail. That is roughly 33% more than the 1.38 million pre-Election Day ballots cast in the 2022 midterm, but about 23% fewer than the 2.38 million cast before Election Day in the 2024 presidential election.

Balance of Power in the General Assembly

Democrats have held three-fifths supermajorities in both chambers since 2019. With three-fifths of each chamber (71 House and 36 Senate votes) plus the governor’s office, Democrats can override vetoes, place constitutional amendments on the ballot and give bills passed after May 31 immediate effect without Republican votes.

Projected seat counts assume that the candidates leading in uncalled races win. The range runs from seats already won or called to every uncalled

Republican-held seat changing hands.
