"Doc" Walls is running for governor

Last night I listened to WVON's "Voice of the People With State Representative La Shawn Ford" and learned that William "Doc" Walls III is running for governor in the Democratic Primary. Gov. Pat Quinn is the incumbent and was endorsed by the Cook County Democratic Party. Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes, the son of Tom Hynes, former chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party is also running. State Rep. Jack Franks has raised money to run, but has not officially declared.


Wikipedia has a summary of the race that seems up-to-date with respect to which candidates are running.
