Tommy Hanson, a self-proclaimed 'MAGA Republican' and River North resident, is making his fourth attempt to defeat Mike Quigley in the Illinois 5th District. Hanson believes that if President Trump had been elected in 2020, America wouldn't be facing issues such as the Ukrainian war, problems in the Middle East, problems at the border, and problems with the economy. He sees the economy and crime as the biggest problems for downtown residents and blames Chicago's issues on Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. Despite spending significantly less money than his opponents, Hanson has been able to capture an increasing percentage of the vote in each election. In 2018, he received 23.3% of the votes, spending about $200 on his campaign. In 2020, he received 26.6% of the votes, spending about $250. And in 2022, he received 28.8% of the votes. [742647df]
