Some Chicago Democrats, including a sitting congressman, are urging voters to cast their ballot for a state lawmaker, despite his arrest last week on bribery charges.
Congressman Danny Davis and others say it’s important to keep Representative Derrick Smith’s seat in democratic hands. They say if Smith wins the Primary, he can be replaced by another democratic candidate later.
Smith is facing a primary challenge tomorrow from a longtime registered republican who filed as a democrat to challenge Smith.
