We told you last week that former Illinois GOP Chairman Don Tracy was considering entering the race for Governor.

He texted us last night, claiming that since former RNC National Committeeman Richard Porter passed on the Senate race, Tracy was putting his focus on running for Senate.

“I am leaning more toward the open Senate seat,” Tracy wrote. He said he plans to make a final decision this week and announce his plans next week.
