The 10th congressional district of Illinois lies in the northeast corner of the state and mostly comprises northern suburbs of Chicago. It was created after the 1860 census. The district is currently represented by Democrat Brad Schneider. The area of the district was originally represented by one of Abraham Lincoln's closest allies, Elihu B. Washburne (R-Waukegan). The district was created in 1982 redistricting out of districts represented by John Porter (R-Wilmette) and Robert McClory (R-Lake Bluff). On the retirement of McClory, the district was represented by Porter after winning the elections of 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, and 1998. Following Porter's retirement, 11 Republicans and two Democrats ran to succeed him. Eventually 9 Republicans and one Democrat stood for election in the primary of March 2000. John Porter's former Chief of Staff, Mark Kirk, won the Republican primary over number two rival Shaun Donnely. Kirk then defeated State Representative Lauren Beth Gash (D-Highland Park) by 2% in the 2000 general election. Kirk remained in Congress until he decided to run for the United States Senate in the 2010 election. He was succeeded by Republican Robert Dold. The 10th is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including, but not limited to: CDW, Walgreens, Underwriters Laboratories, Caterpillar, Inc., Baxter Healthcare, AbbVie, Allstate Insurance, and Mondelez International. The Naval Station Great Lakes near North Chicago, hosting the United States Navy's only boot camp, trains 38,000 recruits each year. 5.2% of the district's inhabitants have performed military service.

Libertyville station
Libertyville station

Libertyville is one of two commuter railroad stations on Metra's Milwaukee District North Line in Libertyville, Illinois. The station is officially located on 200 West Lake Street near Milwaukee Avenue (IL 21), is 35.5 miles (57.1 km) away from Union Station, the southern terminus of the line, and serves commuters between Union Station and Fox Lake, Illinois. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Libertyville is in zone H. As of 2018, Libertyville is the 65th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 801 weekday boardings.As of 2022, Libertyville is served by 11 inbound trains and 14 outbound trains on weekdays, by nine trains in both directions on Saturdays, and by all nine trains in both directions on Sundays. Parking is available at the station house on Lake Street and the corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Newberry Avenue. The main parking lot is accessible from the intersection of Lake Street and Brainerd Avenue, as well as Milwaukee Avenue along the south side of the tracks. A second smaller parking lot exists on the north side of Lake Street between Brainerd and Milwaukee Avenues. A parking garage is located at the corner of Lake Street and Brainerd Avenue, which can be accessed on both streets. All parking areas are south of the tracks. Two other Metra stations exist in Libertyville, and both are in a section of town known as Prairie Crossing. One station serves the Milwaukee District North Line, while the other serves the North Central Service, with both stations in walking distance of each other. The Libertyville station used to be east of Milwaukee Avenue near Newberry Avenue. Then a new station was built west of Milwaukee Avenue, and the old station site was converted into a gas station. Prior to that, the original station was located on First Street and was a terminus of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. The station was relocated to the east side of Milwaukee Avenue some time after a western extension of the railroad was built to Fox Lake and on into Wisconsin. The site of the original station at First Street continued to handle freight traffic for many years but is now the site of a condominium complex, although overgrown tracks still lead from the railroad to the site. Libertyville and most other stations on the Fox Lake Subdivision are unlike many other stations in the Metra system, due to their one-track one-platform setup. The Fox Lake subdivision is single tracked for a majority of the branch, with only Grayslake having two tracks and platforms. For this reason, some rush hour trains terminate at Lake Forest or Deerfield.
