Multiple sources say Rep. Amy Grant (R-Wheaton) one of the House GOP’s most perennially endangered incumbents won't seek re-election in 2026.

Grant did not return a phone call from The Illinoize, but we're told she has informed many of her colleagues of her plans.

She was elected in 2018 to the Wheaton-based district and has overcome hard charging Democrat challenges in the past three election cycles. After being vastly outspent in 2024, she won re-election by 292 votes.

No word yet on who Republicans hope to see the seat.

Democrats appear high on their candidate, Wheaton Village Trustee Erica Bray-Parker.
