Chris Kennedy Will Run For Illinois Governor

LAST FOR THE NEXT -- UNTIL THE
NEXT WARM UP.
I CAN'T WAIT.
WE CAN'T EITHER.
THANKS.
ALSO MAKING NEWS, A BIG
POLITICAL NAME IS IN THE RACE
FOR ILLINOIS GOVERNOR.
KRIS KENNEDY, SON OF ROBERT
KENNEDY ANNOUNCED HE IS
RUNNING.
THIS IS HIS FIRST RUN FOR AN
ELECTED OFFICE.
AS CBS 2 MAI MARTINEZ REPORTS,
HE SAYS HE IS READY FOR THE
JOB.
Reporter: KRIS KENNEDY SAYS
HE IS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME RUNNING
FOR ELECTED OFFICE.
WHAT ABOUT THE CRITICS THAT ARE
ASKING ARE YOU PREPARED FOR
THIS.
I HAVE A LONG TRACK RECORD
IN BUSINESS AND ON THE VERGE OF
POLITICS AS WELL.
Reporter: KENNEDY ANNOUNCED
HIS CANDIDACY WITH THIS YouTube
VIDEO.
I BELIEVE IN WORKING WITH
OTHERS, NOT TELLING THEM WHAT
TO DO.
COMPROMISE IS NOT SURRENDER.
Reporter: ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
RESPONDED WITH THIS PRESS
RELEASE CALLING HIM A MIKE
MADIGAN FIRST POLITICIAN.
WE ARE LOOKING AT A
CANDIDATE WHO HOLDS MIKE
MADIGAN'S POLICIES AND
PRACTICES BEFORE THOSE OF THE
PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS.
THAT IS AN INSULT TO THE
VOTERS OF ILLINOIS.
THEY WILL RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
IS ENORMOUS INDEPENDENCE WITHIN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN
SHUT DOWN BY GOVERNOR.
Reporter: WHEN ASKED ABOUT
THE BID FOR GOVERNOR, HE HAD
THIS TO SAY.
I AM FOCUSED LIKE A LASER ON
GETTING A BALANCED BUDGET WITH
STRUCTURAL CHANGES TO THE
SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S BROKEN AND
HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.
WE NEED TO PROM MISS AND LISTEN
TO EACH OTHER.
I'M.
Reporter: HE KNOWS HE HAS TO
TACKLE THE STATE'S FINANCIAL
MESS.
UNLESS WE HAVE A BALANCED
BUDGET AND UNLESS THE
GOVERNMENT IS FUNCTIONING
PROPERLY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO
CREATE CHAOS, THE ENEMY OF
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
Reporter: KENNEDY IS THE
SECOND DEMOCRAT TO ANNOUNCE A
RUN FOR GOVERNMENT.
