CHICAGO - With one week to go until Election Day, ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement:

“As Illinois watches former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan’s trial unfold and decades of Democrat corruption, extortion and backroom deals come to light, remember that it doesn’t have to be this way. As you continue to return your ballot, vote Republican for common sense ideals and leaders that will fight for our state. For the last 30 years, Illinois Democrats have put themselves first and now, it’s time for a change.”
