Illinois Dem Rep. Jan Schakowsky to RetireJoel B. Pollak 23 Apr 2025
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a left-wing Democrat who has represented the 9th congressional district of Illinois since 1999, will reportedly announce her retirement next month at the age of 80.
Politico reported:
Rep. Jan Schakowsky is planning to announce next month she won’t seek reelection after 14 terms in the House and has started informing allies of her retirement decision, according to two people granted anonymity to describe the private conversations.
The veteran Illinois Democrat, 80, confirmed in a statement that an announcement is forthcoming, though she did not say what it would entail: “I’m going to announce my plans on May 5th. Stay tuned,” she said. Schakowsky’s annual Ultimate Women’s Power Lunch is set for that date in Chicago.
Schakowsky is a former left-wing consumer activist who became a state legislator and then ran for Congress upon the retirement of long-term Rep. Sidney R. Yates (D-IL). She won a three-way Democratic primary in 1998, one that included billionaire J.B. Pritzker, who is currently serving his second term as governor.
Her political ambitions took a hit, however, when her husband, fellow activist Robert Creamer, was convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion.
Schakowsky remained a junior player in Washington, occasionally rising to national prominence through mishaps, such as when she recently claimed that few women were interested in manufacturing because it had the word “man” in it.
