Another Republican is actively testing the waters for a possible challenge to Governor Pat Quinn in 2014.
State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is using his campaign website and social media to ask voters their thoughts on whether he should run for governor.
Rutherford tells the Chicago Tribune that the online effort is not a formal announcement, and that nothing official about his political plans will come until late January at the earliest.
Other Republicans, including state Senator Kirk Dillard and Congressman Aaron Schock, are also thinking about running.
