Sean Casten, left, and Jeanne Ives, right, are candidates for the 6th Congressional District race in the 2020 November general election.
With mud being slung on both sides by the candidates and their supporters, the race for Illinois’ 6th Congressional District seat is one of the messier battles in the suburbs.
Ads from incumbent Democrat Sean Casten of Downers Grove and Republican challenger Jeanne Ives of Wheaton have targeted each other, and some Ives campaign signs have been defaced with vulgarities.
Fortunately, you’ll have the opportunity to see Casten and Ives address the issues that have divided them at several virtual debates and forums between now and the Nov. 3 election.
First up is a forum to be held Monday by a coalition of area League of Women Voters groups. It’s scheduled for 7 PM and also will feature Libertarian candidate Bill Redpath of West Dundee.
