The Senate contest pits Democrat incumbent Philip J. Rock against Republican Ronald H. Stolle in a tight race with party dynamics shaping early campaigns. Voter attention focuses on policy contrasts and district concerns as candidates make their case.
Illinois State Sen. Philip Rock, 39, aims for an Ili nois governor's race as early as 1982 while facing reelection challenges from Ronald Stolle. He defends his ethics record, supports environmental protections, opposes merit selection of judges, and reveals his 1971 to 1975 income and taxes.
Ronald Stolle, 27, shifted from a House bid to run for the 18th district Senate seat amid opposition from Elmer Conti and support from incumbent Philip Rock. He highlights ethics, education funding, and tax/cost concerns, proposing merit-based judges, limited pension growth, and earlier real estate tax collection. He funds his bid with small contributions and aims to win in 1976. His 1971–75 income totaled $82,036 with $11,425 in taxes.
State Rep Lawrence DiPrima asserts the 18th district race is decided and touts his “reciprocal democracy” as the voting pattern. He recalls past tactics in Chicago wards to secure support and opposes a political honesty initiative as garbage.
