2016 primary

Main article: Battleground Illinois primary elections, 2016

Race background

The race was viewed as a contest between the political establishment and outside candidates. Before her appointment, Bourne was a campaign volunteer for Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. The Illinois Republican Party spent more than $255,000 to assist Bourne in the primary, including mailers, television ads, and polling.[9]

Hicks said Bourne was the "establishment choice" who was primarily backed by "Governor Rauner and his deep-pocket cronies." Scobbie questioned whether Bourne had enough "life experiences" to represent District 95. Bourne responded that she brings "a different perspective, a different background from what we’ve been sending to Springfield for years and years."[10]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Illinois

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
