Mark Kirk easily won his primary for US Senate against four lesser-known challengers with 56% of the vote. The moderate-to-conservative Kirk was supported by at least one prominent Libertarian Republican, Chicago-area activist and former Libertarian Party of Illinois board member Jeff Wartman.

David Ratowitz won the GOP nomination for the 5th Congressional seat. He is a US Army Vet from the famed 82nd Airborne. He's a practicing Attorney in suburban Chicago. According to Dave Nalle, RLC National Chair:

Ratowitz is one of the most libertarian-leaning Republicans running this year, with backing from groups like the Republica Liberty Caucus and LibertySlate. He beat two conservative Republicans for a chance to run against incumbent Democrat Mike Quigley in the fall in a district which is mostly middle class Chicago suburbs and leans Democrat, but was held by a Republican during the mid 1990s.

Dr. Arie Freidman running for the Mark Kirk seat in Congress, Northlake shore, finished 4th with 13% in a field of 5. The winner of the GOP primary was Robert Dold.

For Governor, political newcommer Adam Andrzejewski, a favorite of the Tea Party movement placed a dissapointing 5th in a field of 7, with 14.4% of the vote.
