| Description | August 17, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Seventh District Congressman Danny Davis has launched a campaign for Cook County Board president, which would appear to free up others to run for his congressional seat. But, it's not that simple.
Will he or won't he? That's the big political question in the 7th Congressional District that spans from Oak Park, across the city's West Side, and to the lakefront. Danny Davis raised eyebrows when he announced he was leaving his seat in Congress to run for the county board. But, when Davis' political actions don't back up his political words, his potential successors are left to wonder.
State Representative La Shawn Ford is running for Congress in the 7th District. The Chicago seat might be open in next year's Democratic primary, which would present a young politician like Ford a rare opportunity.
"Because most of the time congressmen, they go in and they stay 10-20 years," said Ford. |
