GOP Candidates You Might Not Recognize
Two little known Republican candidates are hoping for your vote.

They acknowledge that you may have never heard of them before, but Steve Kim, the Republican candidate for attorney general, and Robert Enriquez, the candidate for secretary of state, are trying to reach out to voters. The two spoke at a Republican rally last week at the Du Quoin State Fair.

Kim is currently general counsel for an international electronics company and resides in Northbrook . He says if elected he will perform a full audit of state government.

Enriquez is a former Marine who lives in Aurora . According to his website, he is a college professional education manager. Enriquez says he too will conduct an audit of the Secretary of State's office.

While they don't have the name recognition, both Kim and Enriquez believe they are on the winning ticket come November.

Kim faces incumbent Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Enriquez faces incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Jesse White.
