For Immediate Release
SPRINGFIELD… State Representative Martin McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills) enters his first term today as State Representative for the 52nd House District commencing the 102nd Illinois General Assembly. Rep. McLaughlin released the following statement:
“I am extremely honored and humbled to be sworn in today as your State Representative. Thank you for the opportunity to serve our great community in Springfield.
Today marks a new era with long time Speaker, Mike Madigan, out of the picture. I decided to run for this position because Illinois is broken and a complete fiscal disaster. I have dedicated my career to solving pension and fiscal problems, and I hope to represent all of you in the 52nd District with honesty, integrity, and transparency.
We have so much work to do in the 102nd General Assembly and I truly hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are actually ready for positive change in Springfield. Americans have suffered immensely this past year, business owners need relief, and Illinoisans need government responsibility now more than ever. I am ready to get to work! Thank you for the opportunity to be the fiscal watchdog we need.”

Marty’s election is a great start for fixing Illinois. He has performed admirably in our Village
Let’s hope President McLaughlin can bring the fiscal responsibility and common sense approach to government being run efficiently like a business he displayed in Barrington Hills to Springfield. This state needs to stop hemorrhaging money and draining the pockets of its hard working middle class before there’s no one left to fleece. Good luck, Martin! We’re proud of you!
