Frank Napolitano is hoping to see lawmakers put the needs of overburdened and underserved Illinois residents first now that Mike Madigan is finally out of the picture. It may take a few years, but I definitely think it s an opportunity for us to get on the right track, Napolitano told the
DuPage Policy Journal. I see a power shift occurring, and hopefully, Republicans can make inroads in that.
For Madigan, the end comes after a nearly 40-year run of power leading the House and 50 years as a legislator.
The Chicago Democrat resigned his District 22 seat in a surprise move in February. He also quit his role as chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. The decision followed the House replacing Madigan as the speaker in favor of Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch (D-Hillside).
