In the 1986 general election, Cassidy ran against Republican candidate and member of the Illinois House of Representatives Carl Hawkinson. Despite the hope of Democrats to capitalize on cross preasure of party affiliation and a hometown state senator to break the Republican hold on the "Peoria seat", Hawkinson won the general election.[4][5]
