Dick Durbin, a Democrat who is retiring after five terms. Stratton will be the second Black woman to serve Illinois in the Senate. She was twice elected lieutenant governor as Gov. JB Pritzker’s running mate and had Pritzker’s endorsement in a contentious Democratic Senate primary.

Tracy is a former Illinois Republican Party chairman. The Associated Press declared Stratton the winner at 8:00 p.m. EST.
