CHICAGO - Voters in Chicago have selected a Democratic nominee to replace former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.

Former state representative Robin Kelly won the nomination and faces an easy path to election.

She emerged early as a voice for gun control in the primary and gained momentum after New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's super pac poured two million dollars into the race.
