CHICAGO — The Democrats hoping for a chance to replace Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois are scheduled to square off in a televised debate.
Chicago's WLS-TV is hosting a Friday evening debate for U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, former Chicago Urban League CEO Andrea Zopp and state Sen. Napoleon Harris.
