"The residents in our district deserve a fighter," the second-time Chicago candidate said.
Progressive activist Kina Collins announced Tuesday that she is challenging Rep. Danny Davis in the 2022 Democratic primary for Illinois’ 7th Congressional District. Collins, 30, a longtime gun violence prevention and “Medicare for All” advocate from Chicago’s Austin neighborhood, has the backing of Women’s March of Illinois and the left-wing group Justice Democrats. She is the third primary challenger that Justice Democrats is supporting this election cycle. “The 7th Congressional District is the most diverse district in Illinois, yet we have some of the greatest disparities in the country,” Collins told HuffPost. “The residents in our district deserve a fighter. We deserve livable wages, school zones and neighborhoods free of gun violence and full access to quality health care.”More Related News
