Democrat Chris Kennedy has selected his running mate in his campaign for Illinois governor. His choice: A good government advocate whose son was murdered earlier this year. Tony Arnold reports.
Ra Joy’s son was shot and killed in Chicago in June. "My heart is broken and it will never be fixed."
Joy pointed out Kennedy’s own family history - his father, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated. "He was on my list because his family endured the loss of a loved one to violence."
Joy is not new to politics. He’s headed up a good government group that attempted to change how legislative districts are drawn in Illinois. The state Supreme Court struck it down.
Eight other Democrats are running for Illinois governor.
