John Shimkus has a challenger for 2008. Perhaps not the challenger that we'd all hope for, but a challenger none the less. We've spoken often of the importance of having a Democratic name on the ballot and in 2008 we will.
Shirley Roney is a newly minted Democrat who just announced her candidacy. She ran against Shimkus, who she apparently considers a friend, in the 1996 GOP primary. She's anti-abortion, but pro-stem cell.
Dan Stover, who challenged Shimkus in 2006, has not yet declared his intentions. His website is still up, but looks like it hasn't been updated since last November.
