Two Top Contenders Emerge For Illinois Senate President

Two top contenders have emerged as front runners for Illinois Senate president. Senate Majority Leader Kim Lightford has earned a fair amount of support with Democrats and has gotten key endorsements for her bid. Democratic Assistant Majority Leader Don Harmon has also thrown his hat into the rind and is positioned as a formidable opponent for Lightford. It takes a majority vote of the entire Senate to elect a leader.
