Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. OPEN SEAT: longtime incumbent Democrat Danny Davis is retiring (did not seek re-election). State Rep. La Shawn Ford (D), endorsed by Davis, won the crowded March 17 Democratic primary over 12 opponents; faces Republican Chad Koppie in this safe-D Chicago West Side seat. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the IL-07 place page.
