The governor has requested a special primary to be held June 8 with the election on July 24. But his office warned the actual dates of the election will be changed to comply with federal law.
Schock voted for the last time Thursday. In his farewell address, the Peoria Republican said he will work "tirelessly'' to make amends to those he has let down.
A person familiar with the case tells The Associated Press that the Justice Department is formally investigating whether Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois, who has submitted his resignation, committed crimes with his office expenditures and business dealings.
The son of Ray LaHood, Schock's predecessor in the 18th District U.S. House seat, says he'll campaign on his state Senate record, including ethics reform.
