Job creation a top issue in 11th Congressional race

How to create jobs in a sluggish economy is a top issue in the race for the 11th Congressional District.

The race pits U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Hinsdale, against Democrat Bill Foster. From 2008 to 2011, Foster represented Illinois’ 14th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Foster was defeated in November 2010 by then-state Sen. Randy Hultgren, a Republican from Winfield.

The newly drawn 11th District includes North Aurora, Aurora, Naperville, Lisle and Joliet.
