Afternoon Briefing: Auburn Gresham campus aims to redefine waste management
Good afternoon, Chicago. U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who represented a Far North Side and north and northwest suburban district in Congress for more than 2½, announced today that she will not seek a 15th term next year. The move marks the end of an era for a reliably Democratic district that Schakowsky, 80, of Evanston, has represented since 1999 after soundly defeating two opponents, including JB Pritzker, in an open-seat primary. Before her, Sidney Yates held the seat for 24 terms, almost 50 years. Here's what else is happening today.
