| Description | Illinois' top Republican organization Saturday voted to endorse the U.S. Senate candidacy of suburban physician Steve Sauerberg in a move aimed at distancing the political party from perennial and fringe candidates who also filed to appear on the Feb. 5 primary ballot.
The vote to back Sauerberg by the Illinois Republican State Central Committee, made up of GOP leaders from each of the state's congressional districts, was an unusual move. The organization has largely stayed away from involvement in primary contests.
But it underscores potential concerns that Sauerberg of Willowbrook, in his first political race, may face name recognition problems in seeking votes for the nomination and the chance to face two-term incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin. |
