Rep. Kelly Cassidy (14th) is upset that Democratic committeepersons chose Mike Simmons to replace Sen. Heather Steans (7th), according to the
Chicago Sun-Times Monday. Simmons was sworn in for his seat on Saturday becoming the first openly gay Black state senator in Illinois.
The 7th senate district encompasses the North Side neighborhoods of Rogers Park, Edgewater, Andersonville, Uptown and parts of the City of Evanston.
The newspaper claimed that Cassidy, herself an out legislator, was eager to assume the seat vacated by her friend Steans and felt frustrated when she was not chosen by Democratic colleagues. ....

State Rep. Kelly Cassidy complains of 'high-minded ... backroom deal' in state Senate appointment

North Side Democrats promised no backroom dealing in appointing a successor to former state Sen. Heather Steans, vowing the process would be open and transparent.
But state Rep. Kelly Cassidy said Monday that wasn’t the case and her decision to not engage in those dealings may have been a key reason why she lost the chance to win the appointment herself.
“I think that what it says is that we’ve got a long way to go to fix the culture, and get people accustomed to doing things in a truly open manner,” Cassidy said. “A deal that is supposedly high-minded is still a backroom deal.” ....
