Her appointment comes one day after Madigan’s original choice, Edward Guerra Kodatt, resigned from the House just three days into his tenure. Kodatt, who had worked for Madigan’s handpicked Chicago Ald. Marty Quinn (13) since 2017, was asked to step down by Madigan and Quinn Tuesday evening after unspecified allegations about his past behavior came to light.
Madigan declined to answer questions about the specifics of that alleged behavior Thursday.
“The proper questions were asked,” Madigan said of Kodatt’s vetting process.
When asked if Kodatt had lied to Madigan and Quinn during the vetting process, Madigan said he wasn’t “going to get into that.” He was also perplexed at a question about whether Kodatt’s forced resignation was a manifestation of so-called “cancel culture.”
