Jesse Jackson, Jr., Brian Woodworth, Will County and the Illinois Second Congressional District

Sign at the Will County Republicans' Booth at the Will County Fair

Will County Republicans displayed a sign showing the new Illinois Second Congressional District currently held by Democratic Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr.. The new Second Congressional covers a great deal of Eastern Will County and all of Kankakee County, land that is currently part of the 11th Congressional District held by Republican Adam Kinzinger.  Brian Woodworth of Kankakee County is the Republican nominee for the Second Congressional and will face Jackson in the November General Election.

Below is a large map of the new Illinois Second Congressional District that will be in place for the 2012 November General Election.  All Illinois Congressional Districts were redrawn after the 2012 census.
