Write-In Candidacy

ℹ️
Adam Delgado is running as a Democratic write-in candidate, meaning his name does not appear on the printed ballot. Voters must write in his name manually. Write-in candidacies for federal statewide primary races face extremely high structural barriers — Illinois elections research consistently shows write-in campaigns for statewide office almost never achieve significant vote totals.

Delgado has filed with the FEC as a candidate committee, showing $15,572 raised against $36,948 in expenditures — a negative cash on hand of −$20,366, indicating the campaign has accumulated debt. [FEC data]
