Halvorson sees boosted chances to win Jackson seat
CHICAGO (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson believes her chances of winning Jesse Jackson Jr.'s vacant U.S. House seat have just been given a boost.
One of her opponents in the Democratic primary battle, state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, announced Sunday she has withdrawn from the race and is backing another Democratic candidate, Robin Kelly.
Halvorson says she believes she can easily woo those who had supported Hutchinson and keep those votes from going to Kelly.
