Governor Rauner Could Have Republican Opposition

Governor Bruce Rauner has most likely had his focus on Democrat J.B. Pritzker in his re-election campaign. Now he faces a hurdle to get to November. State Rep. Jeanne Ives is circulating petitions to challenge Rauner in next year's GOP primary.

Ives told supporters in an email that she is taking the first step towards restoring common sense in Illinois.

Ives has tabbed former Quad Cities State Representative Rich Morthland as her running mate.
