Episode: A look at who's running to replace Sen. Dick Durbin
Description: Illinois residents soon have a big choice to make: who should represent them in the U.S. Senate for the next six years?

WBEZ’s Mawa Iqbal and Mariah Woelfel have more on who they are and what they’re promising. Mawa starts us off.
