| Description | Residents in the 5th Congressional District have it good. The wide-open race to fill the congressional seat left open by Rahm Emanuel, who left to become President Obama's chief of staff, could have attracted a parade of political hacks.
Not so, this time.
Voters will find a ballot filled with impressive and thoughtful candidates.
Candidates such as state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, a passionate expert in health care.
Or labor lawyer Tom Geoghegan, who has devoted his career to fighting for the little guy.
Or especially Charlie Wheelan, a University of Chicago lecturer who combines a razor-sharp mind with a boatload of charm and an impressive expertise in economics and foreign policy. We expect great things from Wheelan in the future.
With such a quality crop of candidates, we confess that choosing just one was tough, but in the end, a single candidate stood above the rest.
The Chicago Sun-Times endorses Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley for the Democratic primary on March 3, which in this heavily Democratic district is effectively the election. |
