CHICAGO—Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.), a decades-long incumbent, has won the March 19 Democratic primary, virtually guaranteeing him reelection in the general election later this year.

“It’s great to win here in Illinois, but we’ve also got to win in Wisconsin–we’ve got to win in Michigan,” he said, predicting his party would “take the House back” and that he would be elevated to the chair of the Worker and Family Support Subcommittee of the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
