CHICAGO (AP) — Rudy Giuliani is helping Mark Kirk’s U.S. Senate campaign by making an appearance to discuss gang crime in Chicago. The Republican candidate and the ex-mayor of New York will team up Monday to call for greater cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement. Kirk aides say the two will endorse legislation providing $20 million for a national anti-gang task force. Kirk and Giuliani are both moderates on social issues such as abortion. But Giuliani is known for cracking down on crime and guiding New York through the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. His support could help Kirk among voters concerned about crime. Giuliani is also appearing Monday with Bill Brady, the Republican candidate for Illinois governor. Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
