A Democratic Party primary election took place on March 20, 2018, in Illinois to determine which Democrats would run in the state's November 6, 2018, general election as the gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial nominees. This page covers advertising run during the election; click here to return to the election overview.
A total of six Democratic candidates filed to seek the nomination: state Sen. Daniel Biss (D), Madison County Superintendent of Schools Bob Daiber (D), activist Tio Hardiman (D), businessman Chris Kennedy (D), physician Robert Marshall (D), and businessman J.B. Pritzker (D).
