Republican State Senator Sam McCann of Plainview announced Thursday that he will challenge incumbent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic hopeful J.B. Pritzker. His running mate is Riverton resident Aaron Merreighn. MCcann wsays Rauner has “abandoned” core GOP values, especially with Rauner recently signing laws to expand public funding for abortions and limit law enforcement interactions with immigrants. Rauner is vulnerable with conservatives. McCann and Merreighn must gather 25,000 valid signatures to make the ballot as Conservative Party candidates.
