Republican Jim Durkin won't run for Cook County state's attorney
Former Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin will not seek the GOP nomination for Cook County state's attorney due to the likely nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican candidate for president.
Durkin believes that Trump's presence on the ticket would be harmful to any Republican running in Cook County.
Durkin's decision leaves Bob Fioretti as the only announced Republican candidate for the office. [ more ]
