Kirk Dillard: “I’m Tested and Prepared” [AUDIO]

With the primary election less than a week away, State Senator Kirk Dillard says he has the momentum in the race for the Republican nomination for governor.

Recent polls do show Dillard pulling into the #2 spot behind Bruce Rauner. He joined us on "Riley & Scot" on Wednesday morning. Riley asked the State Senator what sets him apart from his opponents:

So I'm the only candidate, if you're a Republican or want change, that can actually beat Pat Quinn. I'm tested and prepared.

We'll have a post in the next day or two recapping our most recent conversations with all of the GOP candidates for Governor.
