Sebelius Visits Chicago for Quinn Fundraiser
CHICAGO (AP) -- Governor Pat Quinn is revving up his fundraising machine and getting some help from the Obama administration after a recent poll showed him trailing his Republican opponent.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius attended a morning fundraiser for Quinn at a downtown Chicago restaurant on Tuesday.

The event was closed to the media, but Quinn's campaign says as many as 100 people were expected to attend.

A Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV poll showed Quinn trailing state Senator Bill Brady of Bloomington, 37 percent to 32 percent. The poll's error margin was 4 percentage points.

Sebelius says Quinn has been a great partner and she wants him to win in November. She says she hopes Illinois voters give Quinn a shot.
