Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is leaving public office after nearly a quarter of a century, and a trio of candidates are vying to replace him in the position.
The 88-year-old White has served as secretary of state since 1999 when George Ryan was elected as governor of Illinois. Since then, he has routinely collected nearly two-thirds of the vote in every one of his reelection bids, including a 68.3% vote share as he rolled to victory over Jason Helland and Steve Dutner in 2018.
On the Democratic side of the ledger, former Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias secured the party’s nomination in June, and hopes to keep the position in the blue column.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
