From today’s Daily Herald:
Congressman Henry Hyde said Thursday he’ll decide whether to seek a 17th term by spring, won’t resign in mid-term and doesn’t plan to endorse a successor if he retires. […]There’s no shortage of Republicans expressing interest in succeeding Hyde. State Sens. Peter Roskam of Wheaton, Dan Cronin of Elmhurst and Carole Pankau of Bloomingdale and Mayors Craig Johnson of Elk Grove Village and Tom Marcucci of Elmhurst are on the list. Another potential candidate would be state Sen. Steve Rauschenberger, who recently moved out of the district to Elgin’s west side and is also weighing a governor run.

Roskam had been an aide of Hyde’s in the mid 80s(I think 1986), covering foreign policy and the judiciary. The other half of Roskam’s several year Washington stint was as the education aide to Tom DeLay. Roskam is a former teacher.

The list left out Joe “Brickhead” Birkett. Many DuPage GOPers believe Joe’s recent blurt about was designed to help clear up the $700K he still owes Pate and his defense atty chums and position him for DC. Don’t forget U.S. don’t get replaced. there must be a special election.

Birkett won’t run for Congress.
