Since 2019, Democrat Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz has represented this north suburban district, centered in Glenview and including parts of Wilmette, Evanston, Skokie and Northbrook.
Gong-Gershowitz, 55, is among the leaders in Springfield on sane gun control legislation, including the state’s ban on assault-style weapons and a 2023 law that allows for lawsuits against gunmakers by victims of gun violence. She is a thoughtful Democratic voice on issues involving the influx of migrants in late 2023 and earlier this year, having been an attorney specializing in immigration law, among other things.
We appreciate her approach to the Chicago Teachers Union’s “demand” for more than $1 billion in additional funding. She says it “ignored both the realities of the state budget and how evidence-based funding works.”
Geldermann’s views, as posted on his website, are well to the right of his district and this board.
Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz is an excellent state lawmaker, and she is endorsed.
