United States Senate election in Illinois, 2016

The 2016 United States Senate election in Illinois will take place on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Illinois, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Incumbent Republican Senator Mark Kirk is running for re-election to a second term in office.
==Background==
Republican Mark Kirk was elected to the Senate in 2010, defeating Democratic nominee Alexi Giannoulias by 59,220 votes out of more than 3.7 million votes cast.
Kirk suffered a stroke in January 2012 that kept him away from the Senate until January 2013. In June 2013 he confirmed that he was "planning" to run for re-election, but there was speculation that he might retire, particularly in the wake of the departure of several of his senior staff. He could also face a primary challenge from a more conservative Republican. One scenario that had been mooted was Kirk resigning, which would have allowed Republican Governor Bruce Rauner to appoint a replacement. Potential replacements if he retired or resigned included U.S. Representatives Robert Dold, Adam Kinzinger, Aaron Schock, and Peter Roskam, State Senators Jason Barickman and Christine Radogno, hedge fund manager and founder and CEO of Citadel LLC Kenneth C. Griffin, and businesswoman Beth Christie.〔〔 In November 2014, Kirk reiterated that he was going to run for re-election, saying: "no frickin' way am I retiring."〔
Pointing to his health problems, narrow win in 2010, anemic fundraising, middling approval ratings, Illinois' strong Democratic lean and the concurrent presidential election, Kirk has been identified by ''The Washington Post'', ''The New York Times'', ''Politico'', ''The Huffington Post'', ''Slate'' and ''Roll Call'' as one of the most vulnerable Republican Senators up for re-election in 2016.
