MacDougal appears to be the senator's only GOP challenger and is endorsed by Gov. Jim Edgar.

"The election results a couple weeks ago indicate an unhappiness on the part of the electorate with incumbents or those they view as insiders," Edgar said. "Gary MacDougal has not held public office. He has been successful in the private sector, and I think that contrasts to Sen. Dixon who has (held office) for many, many years longer than most of us have been alive."
