U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood has represented Illinois' 14th Congressional District since 2019. Today the 14th encompasses a large triangle in north-central Illinois, bounded by Joliet, DeKalb, and LaSalle-Peru.

The Democrat joined us live ahead of next week’s midterm elections, in which she’s facing a challenge from Republican Jim Marter. We plan to talk with Underwood about the economy, foreign policy, and the Democratic agenda in the next Congress.
