For the first time in decades, many Chicagoans and Cook County residents will have new representation in the U.S. House after Tuesday's results. The big picture: Illinois remains a reliably blue state, with all but three of its 17 congressional districts represented by Democrats. State of play: Like Dick Durbin in the Senate, several longtime players in Illinois' delegation are leaving in January, paving the way for younger candidates. Results 1st: Incumbent Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D) will begin his third term representing Chicago's near South Side down to Kankakee. Jackson, the third child of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson and Jacqueline "Jackie" Lavinia Jackson, beat Christian Maxwell (R). 2nd: Cook County Board Commissioner Donna Miller (D) has been elected to serve the district stretching from the south suburbs to Vermillion County after incumbent Robin Kelly gave up the seat to run unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate. Miller defeated Mike Noack (R) and Ashley Banks (I). 3rd: Rep. Delia Ramirez (D) has been reelected to the district covering Chicago's Northwest Side to suburban Elgin. Ramirez, a vocal critic of President Trump's immigration policy, won over Angel Oakley (R). 4th: Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia abruptly announced he was retiring right before last year's
