Eric Wallace, a Doctor out of the Chicago land area has decided to run again for the seat, loosing last election to Paul Mckinley in a land slide primary, Eric now plans to run and win against the Democratic Robbin Kelly. With a new campaign, and a new season, it's a long shot. Robbin Kelly was the hand picked candidate from last election, appointed and groomed by the "Chicago Machine" whom had help from as far East as the New York City's Mayor Bloomberg, whom funded anti Halverson campaign, accusing her of pretty much being all but a Republican.
Wallace will have his hands full, if he hopes to have a chance against the Democratic incumbent in the general election, he will need both campaign support and financing that a (R) candidate has not seen in the 2nd congressional district in well over two decades. We can only ponder as to how he may attempt to concur this almost impossible battle right in the heart of Chicago term oil. The last two people to hold this seat prior to Robbin Kelly, being Congressman Jesse Jackson (D), and Congressman Mel Reynolds (D), both of whom lost the position after convictions, on criminal charges.
