ABC7 News has learned two top Illinois republicans are teaming up for the state's two top political positions.
Illinois Republican Party officials tell ABC 7 News that gubernatorial candidate Judy Baar Topinka has asked DuPage County state's attorney Joe Birkett to be her running mate. Birkett has apparently accepted the offer.
Topinka is a moderate republican, Birkett is more conservative.
An official announcement is expected sometime next week.
