Governor Bruce Rauner is at the beginning of his reelection campaign and for now he isn’t picking up the endorsements of many other Republican lawmakers, especially those in Congress. Reps. Bost, Shimkus, Roskam and LaHood are all either saying they are holding out on whom to back or won’t get involved one way or the other at this point.
Rauner shrugged off the lack of commitment from some of the D.C. delegation.
Jeanne Ives right now is the only other declared candidate for Governor on the Republican side of the ticket.
