SPRINGFIELD -- U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is lending a hand to a McLean County Democrat's bid for Congress.
Durbin's chief fund-raiser, Nancy Kohn, has begun working for Tari Renner, who is a candidate for Congress in Illinois' 11th District.

Renner, an Illinois Wesleyan University political science professor and a member of the McLean County Board, is challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Jerry Weller of Morris for the post.

The 11th Congressional District includes about half of McLean County and stretches northward into parts of Livingston, LaSalle, Bureau, Grundy, Will and Kankakee counties.
