The College Democrats of Illinois are proud of the progressive successes that we saw up and down the ballot on Election Day. We'd obviously like to congratulate President Obama on his reelection, but CDIL chapters were responsible for seeing the election of great candidates like Cheri Bustos, Tammy Duckworth, Bill Enyart, and Brad Schneider, just to name a few. We'll continue to work for common sense progressive values not just here in Illinois, but all across the country in the years to come!
