For some female incumbents running for reelection in Congress this year, holding their seats comes with a new challenge.
Rep. Marie Newman, D-Ill., speaks with supporters at a campaign fundraiser May 9, 2022, in Chicago. The first-term Democrat is among the women members of the U.S. House of Representatives whose reelection bid grew more difficult due to the drawing of new congressional boundaries, known as redistricting. – Democrats took control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 thanks to a record showing by Democratic female candidates.
In Illinois, which lost a seat in redistricting because of its shrinking population, the state's two first-term female representatives — one Democrat, one Republican — were among the 18-member delegation's biggest losers in the state's remapping. She thinks it was payback. “A lot of corporations, a lot of establishment people, they seem to still be mad at me," she told the audience at a fundraiser this month.
Miller was drawn into the same congressional district as fellow conservative Rep. Mike Bost, for whom Trump campaigned in 2018. Rather than run against him, Miller opted to run in a nearby district against five-term Republican Rep. Rodney Davis, who supported a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Trump has endorsed Miller.
