Most of the district is 60 miles or less from downtown Chicago.
I know the lines were redrawn, but I was in Kinzinger's district. He lives 9 or 10 miles from here.
Not during rush hour, of course, but we can be on Lake Shore Drive in under an hour 15.
That district, while pretty rural and moreso now, is part of the Chicago sphere of influence.
