I’m here this afternoon with Eugene Reineke, but you mentioned usually you’re known as Gene. Reineke: That’s correct, Mark. DePue: Why don’t you tell us where we are. Reineke: We’re here at my current employer, which is Hill & Knowlton, Inc. It’s a public relations firm, and we’re located at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. DePue: Which has a fascinating history itself. Someday I’ll have to delve into that one. We’re obviously here to talk about your experiences in the Edgar administration, but you had a lot of years working with Jim Thompson as well, so we’re going to take quite a bit of time. In today’s session, I don’t know that we’ll get to much of the Edgar experience because you’ve got enough information to talk about before that time, which is valuable history for us.

  • 117Th Illinois Congressional Delegation
    ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION 117th Congress Two Senators represent each state in the U.S. Senate and are elected to serve six-year terms. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D) of Springfield was elected to represent Illinois for a fifth term in 2020. Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates (D) was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. (See pages 16-19 for U.S. Senator photos and biographies.) In the November 2020 general election, Illinois voters elected 18 candidates to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives for two-year terms. Thirteen Democratic and five Republican U.S. Representatives were elected to serve in the 117th Congress. The November 2020 general election was historical, with the most women ever elect- ed to serve in Congress. Democrat Marie Newman and Republican Mary Miller — repre- senting districts that were previously held by men — added to the increase of female Representatives. Newman definitively won the general election to represent the 13th District after defeating 16-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D) in the March pri- mary. Miller won the 15th District seat that was previously held by U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R), who served 12 terms in Congress and opted not to run for reelection. Since 1818, Illinois has had a total of 20 female U.S. Representatives. In 2021, seven are currently rep- resenting our state — a record-breaking total. The 117th Congress serves from Jan. 3, 2021, to Jan. 3, 2023. A view of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. 36 | 2021-2022 ILLINOIS BLUE BOOK 1st Congressional District BOBBY L.

  • Ag Districts Get Focus in Battle for Congress
    April 15, 2020 Volume 16, Number 15 Ag districts get focus in battle for Congress If Republicans have any hope of winning control of the U.S. House this fall, they’ll have to start by winning a series of major agricultural districts Democrats won in 2018. Of the top 100 House districts in terms of farm production, seven are rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report. Six of the seven are held by Democrats, including House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson's 7th District seat in Minnesota. The influential chairmanship is held in high regard - a title he could retain unless the House flips back to Republican. The lone Republican tossup seat belongs to Rep. Rodney Davis, whose 13th District in central Illinois includes the university towns of Champaign and Urbana as well as swath of one of the nation’s most productive corn and soybean-growing regions. Three of the tossup ag seats are next door in Iowa, including seats that first-term Reps. Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer won in 2018 by ousting GOP incumbents. The third Iowa seat is being vacated by Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack. The two other tossup seats are in California and New Mexico. In California’s 21st District, which ranks fourth nationally in farm revenue according to the latest Agriculture Department census, first-term Rep. TJ Cox faces a rematch with Republican David Valadao, whom Cox ousted in 2018. www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 In New Mexico’s 2nd District, which covers the southern half of the state, first-term Democratic Rep.

    “The Meaning of the 2012 Election,” the pre-edit version of Chapter 9 in Michael Nelson (ed.), The Elections of 2012 (Washington, DC: Congressional Quarterly Press, 2013) David R. Mayhew The nation’s fifty-seventh presidential election has come and gone. What are we to make of it? I address the shape of the election, the political context surrounding it and brought by it, and the policy implications of it. Election patterns for the House and Senate as well as the presidency are taken up. The General Shape of the Election: Incumbency Prevails Overwhelmingly, this was a personal incumbency election. Possibly it set a new standard in that respect. Across all the elective institutions, if you held an office and ran for it again you were exceedingly likely to keep it. It was like a Wall Street firm at Christmas. There were bonuses for virtually everybody. There was little “edge” to the 2012 election. It was not driven by background forces like the Iraq war in the midterm of 2006,1 the Wall Street crash (and Iraq, still) in the contest of 2008,2 or a blowback against unpopular legislative enactments, notably ObamaCare, in the midterm of 2010.3 (The term “ObamaCare” started out as invidious, but the president has warmed to it himself, and it has a pleasing snappiness, so I use it here.)4 Those three elections had “edge.” But in 2012 the voters seemed to recede into a stance of default, exhausted perhaps, for one thing, by the 1 Gary C. Jacobson, “Referendum: The 2006 Midterm Congressional Elections,” Political Science Quarterly 122 (Spring 2007), 1-24.

Nevada, South Carolina, and Washington hold primaries and caucus in February, and then from there things will really heat up.
