I'm watching this one. Laura Fine is (was?) the establishment pick but hasn't been nearly as visible as DB or KA.
NEW IL-09 poll with the Justice Coalition Action: Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh are tied for first in the Democratic primary with 18% of the vote.
Laura Fine trails in third with 10%, and all other candidates receive 6% or less of the vote.
