It's about time we start the project of updating for latest results. Yes? Johathom7 (talk) 20:29, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

18th District Democrat is Junius Rodriguez

District 18 is outdated, but better that someone else edit this: Darrel Miller didn't make the write-in threshold to get to the general election, but Junius Rodriguez made the petition signature threshold afterwards, is on the ballot as the Democrat in the general election, and has been campaigning all summer. Candidate Office Filing Search shows Rodriguez listed. Also:

Kern, Willis (June 8, 2016). "Dem Rodriguez Stresses Bipartisanship" (online ed.). Normal, Illinois: WGLT. Retrieved September 22, 2016. — audio interview; after no candidate succeeds in primary, Junius Rodriguez gets over 1100 signatures of 626 needed to get on the ballot
Reynolds, Colleen (August 3, 2016). "Opponent Urges Rep. LaHood to Dump Trump Support" (online ed.). Normal, Illinois: WGLT. Retrieved September 22, 2016. — Rodriguez in Bloomington; comments on Darrin LaHood saying he's going to support for Trump but is not endorsing Trump (whatever that means), despite his father Ray not voting for Trump
Hopf, Matt (September 14, 2016). "Democratic candidate in 18th District renews debate challenge to LaHood" (online ed.). Quincy, Illinois: Herald-Whig. Retrieved September 22, 2016. — Rodriguez in Quincy; LaHood-Rodriguez debates and some other campaigning data about both candidates; LaHood campaign spokesman says he's never heard Rodriguez's debate requests
Cass, Herrington (September 13, 2016). "18th Dist. Congressional Candidate Calls For Public Debate" (online ed.). Peoria, Illinois: Peoria Public Radio. Retrieved September 22, 2016. — Rodriguez in Peoria; Rodriguez says opponent declined requests to debate

http://rodriguezcongress.com/ is the official Rodriguez for Congress site, if we're listing external links. (Looks like we are for U.S. Senate races, but not for the House, at least not in this article.) Also, the Junius Rodriguez article hasn't been updated to mention his run for Congress either. (That article's been on Wikipedia since 2007 and tagged {{COI}} since then, and probably needs to be looked over to see if the COI tag can be removed.) --Closeapple (talk) 20:41, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
