As the field of candidates to replace Dick Durbin in the U.S. Senate, we've put together the manual on what it will take to win that seat.
In this episode, Lissa & Thom welcome back professor Robin
Johnson of Monmouth College. Robin is the first call anyone should
make if you want to really understand voters in the midwest --
especially downstate Illinois. This discussion hits on
Illinois' national perspective, the source of the widening
political divide, the changing nature of political engagement among
younger voters, and much more.
Welcome to our 300-level course: How To Be Illinois' Next
Senator.
