Steve Sauerberg, a family physician from La Grange, announced Monday that he would seek the Republican nomination to take on Sen. Dick Durbin (D).

Sauerberg said that “a lifetime of serving others translates well to curing what is wrong with career politician Dick Durbin and his out-of-touch liberal values.”

He joins party activist Norm Hill and trucker Mike Psak in the race for the GOP nomination. Republicans are hoping to find a higher-profile challenger, but so far none has emerged.
