The Candidates running for US Senate met Wednesday evening in Chicago for a debate. Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Jim Oberweis took part in their first debate sponsored by ABC-7 and the League of Women Voters.
Durbin says he wants to build a stronger middle class by providing tax incentives to companies that create good-paying jobs and ensuring families have access to affordable health care. He also says students should be able to refinance college loans to pay a lower interest rate.
Oberweis says the average Illinois family earns less today than when Durbin ran for re-election six years ago. The State Senator and dairy entrepreneur says he knows how to create jobs. Oberweis also says he wants to improve education.
Tune in to WSIU Radio and WSIU TV on Wednesday, October 29th at 7:00 pm for live coverage of another debate between Durbin and Oberweis as they take part in a public broadcasting debate from WTTW TV in Chicago.
