MOLINE, Illinois – It’s one of the most fought over pieces of political territory in Western Illinois and the Democrats want it back.

The Illinois 36th State Senate District was held by Denny Jacobs and his son Mike Jacobs for two generations until Republican Neil Anderson won in 2014.

Anderson, a Moline firefighter, and paramedic, now faces a challenge from Democrat Gregg Johnson, a retired Corrections Department supervisor and AFSCME local president.
