Incumbent governor Adlai Stevenson II, a Democrat, ultimately did not seek a second term, instead opting to run as his party's nominee for President of the United States. Republican William Stratton was elected to succeed him in office. Before receiving the Democratic presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention, Stevenson had been running for reelection as governor, even winning the Democratic primary. He was replaced as Democratic nominee for governor by Lieutenant Governor Sherwood Dixon. Stratton was considered to have ridden the coattails of Dwight D. Eisenhower's landslide victory in the state in the presidential election.Former Illinois Governor William G.
