Ah I see, you’re not missing something. I was basing it off of her AMA on reddit from a long while ago now when Jan hadn’t announced her retirement yet.
Still think she deserves criticism for running in a district she doesn’t live in and for moving from texas to Illinois and within a year running for Congress there. But she at least is running for an empty seat. There are also several other candidates in the race who are just as progressive who actually live in the district.
This was in May, Jan Schakowsky, the congresswoman for IL-09, announced shw would not run for reelection in 2026. So not really the past few weeks. Am I missing something? https://schakowsky.house.gov/media/press-releases/schakowsky-announces-she-will-not-seek-re-election-2026.
