#IL03 Democrat running for Congress, fighting for Medicare for All, bridging the income divide, supporting the Green New Deal, and everybody's everyday.

It'll be interesting to watch what traction she gets, if any. Lipinski's record is shocking for a OnDoutside Apr 2019 #3

She lost 51-49 when she ran in the Primary in 2018. This time there'll be other candidates. brooklynite Apr 2019 #5

Well, Lipinski is far from the most progressive Democrat MineralMan Apr 2019 #6

Too bad a Berniecrat won't win that district in a primary. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #7

She lost to him by less than 3 points NewJeffCT Apr 2019 #9

I hope she wins but only if she can hold the seat. The district may be too conservative. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #12

Lipinski won the GE by 47 points NewJeffCT Apr 2019 #14

He r a new against a Nazi. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #15
