Candidates Line Up For Jackson Jr. Seat
Governor Quinn signed a measure Sunday moving the special election to replace Jesse Jackson Jr to April 9th with a primary to be held on Feb. 26th.
Both dates coincide with previously scheduled municipal elections, in an effort to save taxpayer money.

Robin Kelly, a top aide to Cook County board president Toni Preckwinkle and a former state lawmaker has now officially thrown her hat in.
