U.S. Senate candidate recap: Part 1

Illinois’ Primary Election Day is one week away as voters decide who will represent Democrats and Republicans in the race to succeed retiring U.S. Senator Dick Durbin. In the first of a two-part series, we bring you recaps of our interviews with the candidates. The complete list of candidates and interviews conducted by the 21st Show can be found here.

We've also created infographics highlighting differences between the Democratic candidates on a few of the major issues in this race. Only candidates who've sat down with the show during the campaign are included. Similar infographics for the Republicans will be available with part two of the series.
