Former White House Chief of State Bill Daley is considering a run for Governor of Illinois.
Daley visited the WGN Evening News on Tuesday to discuss his thoughts on the office.
He said the pension debacle has him thinking harder than ever about running for governor.
He says he will announce know in a week or two if he’s running, and he won’t rule it out, even if Lisa Madigan enters the governor’s race.
A few people have already thrown their hats in the ring for the 2014 Illinois governor’s race.
A pair of Republicans, Treasurer Dan Rutherford and wealthy venture capitalist Bruce Rauner, have already kicked off their gubernatorial campaigns.
As for the Democrats, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will face a challenger in his own party: Bill Daley, President Barack Obama’s former Chief of Staff, says he’s also running for governor.
