Joining us are Natasha Korecki, a Political Reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times, Patrick Cotter, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and current partner at the law firm of Barnes & Thornburg, and Robert Starks, a professor at Northeastern Illinois University's Center for Inner City Studies who focuses on African American politics.
