CHICAGO--Rep. Mark Steven Kirk (R-Ill.) claimed the GOP Illinois Senate nomination on Tuesday, declaring victory at his north suburban campaign headquarters.
"We all know that over the past year a quiet despair has descended on the State of Illinois.
A governor arrested, a senator seat disgraced, corruption rampant, unemployment rising and families struggling. The people of Illinois now see the arrogance of a one-party state," Kirk said.
