IL U.S. House District 13- Rodney Davis issued the following announcement on Mar. 2.
U.S. Representative Rodney Davis (R-IL) issued the following statement after news outlets reported that former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan was indicted today on federal corruption charges:
“The indictment of Mike Madigan on federal corruption charges is a long time coming. The people of Illinois have known for years that Madigan was corrupt to his core and that he used state government to benefit himself and his political machine. Governor J.B. Pritzker and Illinois Democrats refused to admit this truth publicly because they enabled Madigan’s corruption, and some were complicit in it.
“Pritzker himself bankrolled Madigan’s political machine and placed his patronage hires throughout state government. Madigan allies like Pritzker and others will have to answer for what they’ve done, but for now, the people of Illinois deserve justice for the corruption they were forced to live under for so long.
“God bless the brave federal prosecutors and law enforcement officers and their work to restore the public’s trust in the State of Illinois.”
