Summary: Illinois House GOP Minority Leader Jim Durkin is now facing a primary challenge from conservative reformer Burr Ridge Mayor, Mickey Straub. Durkin is a career politician that has been in the General Assembly for almost two decades with little success to show. His failed leadership was on full display when ⅓ of his caucus voted for the record-breaking income tax hike with zero reforms, not to mention the Durkin's glaring conflict of interest in representing municipal governments in his legal practice (http://prairiestatewire.com/stories/511231764-horrible-conflict-of-interest-for-house-republican-leader-durkin). Mickey Straub says he is running for office to put Illinois on a new path and solve problems in Springfield as he’s done as Mayor of Burr Ridge. Mickey Straub, candidate for the 82nd District, joins Dan and Amy to discuss.
