Virtual forum Tuesday for GOP candidates in 11th U.S. House District

The Republican candidates in Illinois’ 11th Congressional District will discuss the issues facing the nation in an online forum Tuesday night.

The session, which is set for 8 p.m., is being hosted by the Naperville chapter of the League of Women Voters. Register for the Zoom session at shorturl.at/N8WPq.

Four candidates are running for the Republican nomination: Tedora Brown of Palos Park, Charlie Kim of Aurora, Michael Pierce of Naperville and Jeff Walter of Elburn.

Brown hasn’t been certified for primary ballots because the Illinois State Board of Elections ruled her candidate petitions didn’t have enough valid signatures. That decision was upheld by a Cook County judge, but Brown has appealed to a higher court.

The 11th District encompasses portions of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will, DeKalb and Boone counties.

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Bill Foster of Naperville is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
