I thank you for coming together on February 14, 2025 to organize the 26th Legislative District Committee (“the Committee”), in accordance with 10 ILCS 5/8-5, and to engage in the process of filling the vacancy in office of State Senator for the 26th Legislative District (“the Office”) following the resignation of State Senator Dan McConchie.
It has been brought to my attention that the Committee would be best served to meet again in order to ensure that there can be no question as to whether the process we followed properly empowered the Committee to act to fill the vacancy in this Office.
