U.S. Rep. Danny Davis is facing what could be a very challenging reelection bid with the March primary now just six weeks away.
Davis is facing four other Democrats next month, including Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, organizer Kina Collins, who ran against Davis the last two elections, as well as two other newcomers Nikhil Bhatia and Kouri Marshall.

Age, ethics and money will be three important issues in the 7th District congressional race. The district stretches from the West Side down to the South Side.
Davis is looking to hold off two potentially significant challengers in the March 19 primary.
Davis is running for a 15th term, announcing a new round of endorsements from a group of state lawmakers on Monday.
Despite facing two serious challengers, Davis said he’s feeling good based on polling and the feedback in the district that he see has as a green light for reelection.
“We are on a roll, that we are moving towards victory, and that at the end of the day I will be reelected,” Davis said.
