Republican incumbent Dennis Tipsword is the projected winner over Democrat challenger Morgan Phillips for the Illinois House District 105 seat.

Two first-term Illinois Democrats locked into competitive congressional contests held onto their seats as control of the U.S. House remained up for grabs.

With Republicans winning back the White House and the U.S. Senate on Tuesday and the final balance of power in the House still unclear, Illinois Democrats successfully defended their 14-3 dominance over the GOP in the state’s congressional delegation.
