15th District U.S. House

Freshman Representative Mary Miller will be the Republican nominee in the general election for the U.S. House seat in the heavily Republican 15th District of Illinois. She will face Democrat Paul Lange who ran unopposed in the primary.

The district stretches across the state, featuring parts of eastern, central and western Illinois. It is expected to heavily favor Republicans.

Paul Lange, who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, did not have a campaign website as of this writing.
