Illinois Republican Rep. Shimkus won't run again in 2020

U.S. Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois said Friday he won't run for re-election after more than 20 years in Congress, the 14th House Republican to decline a 2020 race. Shimkus represents the 15th District, which includes all or part of 33 counties stretching from central Illinois to near the southern tip. Shimkus, 61, of Collinsville has won in three different districts after boundaries were changed following the decennial census.
