The voters have spoken in the NW suburbs. Former Congresswoman Melissa Bean is returning to Washington, 15 years after she left office. #WGNNews
The race for Illinois' 8th Congressional District featured a familiar face. After 15 years out of Congress, former Rep. Melissa Bean on Tuesday fended off a challenge from Republican Jennifer Davis.
She spoke to WGN's Emmy Victor about why she sought the seat and a return to Congress.

@NIPSCO I get that the August derecho was destructive, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be asking questions about the preparation, infrastructure, staffing, and communication.
Why were Gary, Hammond, and Portage missing from the initial restoration estimates? And what is ACTUALLY going to be done differently before the next major storm?
We’re heading into winter now. What happens when we get hit with a major snowstorm, ice, or extreme cold and people are left without power again?
I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Northwest Indiana residents to want answers NOW instead of waiting until the next disaster happens. We deserve to know what’s being done to prepare. @NIPSCO @EmmyReports @WGNNews
NIPSCO is finally answering questions — weeks after a powerful derecho left thousands of Northwest Indiana residents in the dark.

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.
