GOP House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisana visited Springfield Tuesday for a fundraiser for Taylorville Republican Congressman Rodney Davis.
Scalise battled back from critical injuries last summer after he was shot during a baseball practice while Davis was at the plate in suburban Washington. Scalise says his friendship has only grown because of the events of that summer morning in Northern Virginia.
Some polls show Davis' race with Springfield Democrat Betsy Dirksen Londrigan is beginning to tighten up.
