From Northwest Herald:
A pawnbroker who’s running for Illinois governor after quitting the lieutenant governor’s race announced his running mate on Wednesday but acknowledged the pick wasn’t his first choice.
Scott Lee Cohen said he first asked Democratic state Sen. James Meeks to run as lieutenant governor with him in an independent bid, but eventually settled on former campaign worker Baxter Swilley.
“He was not my first choice but he is the best choice,” Cohen said of the 35-year-old Swilley.
