Te Mayonna Brown
Te Mayonna (Te) Brown describes herself as a businesswoman, educator and real-estate developer. She was the only Republican to file for District 24, so the primary was canceled and she advanced to the November general election against Democrat Oliver Gilbert in a district that leans heavily Democratic. The Bulwark reported that she also lost a Republican U.S. House primary in Illinois earlier in 2026 and appears to be under indictment for felony wire fraud; her campaign reported raising about $313,000 to the FEC.
