Chicago billionaire Bruce Rauner won a hard fought Republican primary Tuesday and will face Gov. Pat Quinn in the November elections.

Rauner beat out State Senators Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady and State Treasurer Dan Rutherford.

Rauner has never served in public office and famously spent $6 million of his own money on his primary campaign, a record for Illinois governor race.

Jim Oberweis also won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator. He will face current number two in the Senate Dick Durbin.

A correctional center worker and a former sheriff are the next candidates for the 115th District in the State House of Representatives.

The primary election came to a close with Terri Bryant winning the Republican nomination and Bill Kilquist winning the Democratic nomination. This is the first time in nearly 20 years the 115th District Seat is open following the announcement that longtime representative Mike Bost would seek the 12th District Seat in the U.S. House of Representatives currently occupied by Bill Enyart.

Bryant is a Murphysboro mother of two and director of the dietary department for the Pinckneyille Correctional Center. She said she was incredibly proud of her volunteers’ ability to run a clean campaign.

“We worked really hard to do this and keep it a clean race,” she said. “My volunteers worked phenomenal. The time and energy they put in was fantastic.”

While she was elated with the primary results, she said she is focused on keeping her message alive through the general election.

“The message I want to get out is I’m going to move forward with the same message I’ve had throughout the entire campaign: small government, lest taxes, less government intrusion in our personal lives and to send a message to Springfield that when they make promises to the people we expect them to stand true to it,” she said.

She will face Kilquist in the November primary. Kilquist is the former sheriff of Jackson County and former warden of the Illinois Youth Center in Harrisburg. Kilquist said the race was hard fought, but his team ultimately reached the people.

“That’s who we had to impress and that’s who we’re going to serve we knocked on thousands of doors and made thousands of phone calls. I always said the lightest light is reflected light,” he said. “We had a lot of people working for us and we’re going to have to represent all the people: republicans, democrats and independents. That’s what the term representative means. I’ve never turned my back on those I’ve represented in the past and I’ll continue to do that moving forward.”

The general election is scheduled for Tuesday Nov. 14
