Meet Ilya Sheyman, 25, a true Illinois progressive on track to win primary for Congress

Cenk talks to Ilya Sheyman, one of four “bold progressive” picks for Congress that Adam Green told us about in Janaury. Sheyman, running in Illinois’ densely Democratic 10th district, is a 25-year-old community organizer who is polling at 45 percent to mainstream Democrat Brad Schneider’s 27 percent for the primary on March 20. “What’s happening in Washington isn’t working,” Sheyman says. “We need Democrats who are willing to stand up for the progressive values that actually built the middle class.”
