Activist Tio Hardiman Challenges U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush for Congress

Saying it is time for new leadership, activist Tio Hardiman is challenging U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush for his 1st Congressional District seat in Illinois. Hardiman, an unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate and former director of the antiviolence group CeaseFire Chicago, said he believes it is time for a newcomer to replace Rush, who has been in office since 1993.
