| Description | A new candidate plans to enter the wild race for the U.S. Senate in Illinois, and he might make a difference if he spends the $1 million of his own money that he's promising.
Mike Niecestro, a west suburban mortgage broker with little political past, describes himself as "a disgusted Republican" who's unhappy with the two major-party nominees in the contest: Democratic State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and, in particular, North Shore congressman Mark Kirk, the GOP nominee.
Mr. Niecestro claims he already has roughly the 25,000 signatures he'll need to get on the ballot as an independent, and he plans to double that by the June 21 deadline. |
