Republican State Representative Dave Winters (R) from Rockford is saying he's looking closing at seeking the Republican nomination for Lt. Governor. Winters says he'll explore what support he'll get as the Summer break comes in, and he has time to gauge the political and financial support.
And long-time Democratic State Representative, Art Turner (D) of Chicago's 9th District, is also saying he'll be looking to run for Lt. Governor. Turner, who's spent 34 years in the House, says he WILL NOT seek another term as a House member, as he does not want to be running a dual campaign for representative and the Lt. Gov position. So Art Turner's mind is made up -- and it's a GO for Lt. Gov.
It looks like the race for Lt Governor may be among the hottest races in 2010. And with the primary just nine months away, and the costs involved in running a statewide race, the list of those seeking this position may well grow to double digits in the near future.
