If U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin knows anything, it’s how to count votes. As the Senate majority whip, it’s Durbin’s job to ensure that members of his party vote the party line. But last week, there was a different set of elected officials Durbin was whipping: the Illinois Democratic State Central Committeepeople. On March 3, with no votes to spare, Durbin’s endorsed candidate, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Matteson, was elected chairperson of the Democratic Party of Illinois, beating out Chicago Ald. Michelle Harris in the race to succeed former chairman Michael Madigan. It was a major win for Durbin, who has long sought more control over the state party, and a major loss for Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who endorsed and lobbied heavily for Harris.
