Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering is running for Congress in the 10th District.
The Chicago Tribune reported Rotering made the announcement she will seek to have a chance to unseat Rep. Bob Dold, a Kenilworth Republican, Tuesday morning.
“I will be a consistent advocate for a woman’s right to choose, for accessibility to quality health care and a staunch defender of Israel, our only democratic ally in the Middle East,” Rotering said in a statement. “I bring a lifetime of advocacy reflecting the progressive values of our district and a record of producing real results to a Congress that has achieved little in recent years.”

Rotering could face Deerfield Democrat Brad Schneider, who previously held the post before losing to Dold in 2014 - in a primary. Schneider recently told the Chicago Sun-Times he has “all but decided” to run as well.
