Congressman Randy Hultgren’s district covers a wide range of interests — with rural, small towns in the northern part of the state to larger suburbs like Naperville and North Aurora.

The counties he represents carry political power; residents voted for the winner in the last four presidential elections. Democratic challengers for 2018 are coming forward so the Congressman has to align his policies and votes with constituents in order to retain his seat. 

Morning Shift talks with the Congressman about how he plans to do that, and issues where he aligns with the Republican Party and where he splits.
