 Quinn, a Democrat, says there's still more to do and that's why he
wants the job for four more years. He made his announcement in
Chicago on Thursday.The former lieutenant governor inherited the
state's top job when lawmakers removed Blagojevich from office after
his arrest on federal corruption charges. Those include plotting to
sell or trade President Obama's former U.S. Senate seat. Blagojevich
has denied wrongdoing.
Quinn says he's committed to bringing economic growth to
Illinois.
State Comptroller Dan Hynes, Oak Park attorney Ed Scanlan and
activist William "Dock" Walls also have said they will run in the
Democratic primary.
