Illinois Republican Rep. Mark Steven Kirk used to work for his House predecessor, Republican John Edward Porter.

So did Bill Cadigan, a Republican lawyer who’s eyeing the 10th District seat Kirk is giving up to run for the Senate.

Cadigan last week filed a statement of candidacy and a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission to initiate a campaign in the 10th, which takes in suburbs north of Chicago.

Speaking with CQ Politics on Monday, Cadigan identified “the economy and reform” as the two major reasons he’s running for the House.
