We also hear from winners of some of the key races, including Bob Dold in the 10th Congressional District. WBEZ’s Natalie Moore explains how candidates courted the black vote-and how that fared for them. Latino Policy Forum Executive Director Sylvia Puente anticipates how the new crop of elected officials will shape policy that affects the Latino community.
