Illinois election 2022: See who the Tribune Editorial Board endorsed — plus how the candidates answered our questions

The November election comes four months after the June 28 primary — the quickest turnaround since at least the Great Depression.

On Nov. 8, Illinois voters will elect their governor, junior U.S. senator, two Illinois Supreme Court justices, all 17 of Illinois’ representatives in the U.S. Congress, every state senator and state representative in the General Assembly, and county and judicial offices throughout the state.

Before the primaries, the Tribune Editorial Board posed a series of questions to the candidates to inform voters and make endorsements. Here’s the full list of those answers.

Here are the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board’s 2022 endorsements for the Nov. 8 elections.

We endorse a no vote. We support the rights of unions to represent their members and to bargain collectively for the best deal they can secure. But we do not see an Illinois threat to those rights and we see this endorsement as an opening to skew the balance of power in the public sector to an unacceptable degree.

Should the amendment pass, we anticipate serious negative consequences for the taxpayers of Illinois. Read the full editorial here.
