Who will the Democrats run for governor against Rauner?
Most of Illinois’s top Democrats are gathering in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention this week, and speculation is swirling over which Democrats might be interested in running against Governor Bruce Rauner in 2018. House speaker Mike Madigan mentioned Senator Dick Durbin as a possibility and said that they spoke about it months ago. Another name circulating is Madigan’s daughter, Illinois attorney general Lisa Madigan. [Sun-Times]
