A wealthy Chicago businessman is launching an exploratory committee… with an eye toward seeking the Republican nomination for Governor next year.
Bruce Rauner says he doesn’t have all the answers to the state’s problems… but plans to spend the next 60 days on a “listening tour” of the state to get the input of Illinois residents.
Rauner describes himself as an entrepreneur, not a politician, and says he is “heartbroken” over the current state of Illinois government. He is one of at least a half-dozen Republicans actively considering a run for the party’s 2014 nomination for governor.
