If Rep. Keith Sommer is to represent the newly-redrawn 88th District after 2012, he will have to defeat a primary challenger in addition to a potential Democrat in the general election.
Steve Perry, a mass communications professor at Illinois State University and member of the District 87 School Board, has officially thrown his hat in the ring to challenge Sommer for the legislative district seat.
The election results are in and while most of the races were unopposed, some new people took over school board positions in Washington.
