Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth is raising cash for her run at Illinois' 8th Congressional district seat.
Candidates for the U.S. House had to file a lot of paperwork over the weekend--third quarter campaign finance reports were due. Recent redistricting could generate a lot of tough primary elections in Illinois this year.
