Embattled Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor Scott Lee Cohen made it official Friday evening and submitted his formal letter to withdraw his candidacy.
Steve Brown, spokesman for House Speaker -- and state Democratic Party Chairman -- Michael Madigan, said the letter was received by the state party and will be submitted to the State Board of Elections on Tuesday.
The leadership of the state's Democratic party lead by such names as Michael Madigan and Pat Quinn will meet sometime after March 5th,when the results are certified, to pick a replacement.
There are plenty of potential candidates to replace Cohen.
