Anderson faces another Democrat in the March 20, 2012 primary election.
Democrat Dennis Anderson, of Gurnee, has announced he will run for Congress in the newly-redrawn 14th Congressional District. Anderson faces former McHenry alderman Frank McClatchey, also a Democrat, in the primary election. Anderson said he decided to run for office because he is as frustrated as many others by the current climate in Washington.

Six months ago, I was sworn in as a member of the 112th Congress, one of 96 new representatives, including 87 Republicans. Since then, I have worked tirelessly to keep the promises I’ve made to my constituents, shrinking the size of the federal government, cutting spending, working to restore our nation to fiscal health and putting Americans back to work.
