Rep. RodneyDavis raked in key endorsements from state and national business groups ahead of his June 28 primary against fellow GOP RepMaryMiller in Illinois’s newly redrawn 15th Congressional District.
Davis, first elected to the House in 2012, is in a heated battle with Miller, a Trump-endorsed firebrand freshman who has been involved in a string of controversies since first taking office. The pair were effectively forced to run against each other due to the Democratic-controlled redistricting process in Illinois, which, starting in January 2023, will have its House delegation drop from 18 to 17 seats due to population loss in the state during the decade before the 2020 census.
Illinois Chamber CEO Todd Maisch told the Washington Examiner that while he agrees with much of Miller’s voting record, he believes Davis's legislative accomplishments warranted the endorsement. The new district encompasses much of central and southern Illinois and is made up of roughly 35% of Davis’s district and 30% of Miller’s seat.Trump is slated to hold a rally with Miller on Saturday near Quincy, Illinois, due west of Springfield along the Mississippi River. Davis, who served as co-chairman of Donald Trump’s reelection campaign in Illinois in 2020, has not shied away from his working relationship with the former president during the course of his administration.
