The 2022 Illinois's 1st congressional district election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the
Since 1993, the district had been represented by Democrat Bobby Rush. On January 3, 2022, Rush announced that he would retire rather than seek a sixteenth term in office.[3]
Because Rush announced his retirement just six months before the primaries, the race to succeed him was relatively brief. A wide field of candidates ran in the Democratic primary, including state senator
Oscar De Priest in 1929.[5] Jackson took office in the 118th United States Congress in January 2023, joining the Congressional Progressive Caucus.[6]

In total, seventeen candidates made the primary ballot. The candidates rarely criticized each other, primarily campaigning on their own experience and life story in an attempt to carve out a unique position in the crowded race.[2] Their campaigns relied more on door-to-door canvassing and less on advertising compared to nearby primary elections.[13]
On June 20, a week before the primary, Jackson attracted controversy after his
Chuy Garcia in the 4th district Democratic primary, Nikki Budzinski in the 13th district Democratic primary, and Rodney Davis in the 15th district Republican primary.[18]
