Democratic State Senator Daniel Biss has announced his new running mate as he campaigns for Illinois governor. Two days ago, Biss dropped his original choice for lieutenant governor, Chicago Alderman Carlos Ramirez Rosa, after the two disagreed about policies affecting Israel. Less than 48 hours later, Biss has announced State Representative Latesa Wallace from Rockford as his new choice for lieutenant governor. In a produced online video announcing the selection, Wallace does not address her views on Israel.
