Illinois First Test of Remap Districts Comes Tuesday
The 1980 census forced Illinois to shrink its U S House delegation to 22 and redraw districts. In the new Fourth, Republican Michael Murer challenges incumbent George O'Brien after O'Brien beat Edward Derwinski in a primary. Murer emphasizes jobs and unions while O'Brien touts Reagan policies and local funding efforts. The race centers on a newly drawn, industrial Fourth with Joliet and Cook County areas, and the outcome could shape long term political boundaries.
