Happy Wednesday, Illinois. It s a lot of hurry up and wait in politics these days! We ve got news about one Senate race in Georgia (Raphael Warnock has ousted Sen. Kelly Loeffler) and we re still waiting on Jon Ossoff s effort to boot GOP Sen. David Perdue. And certification of Joe Biden s win starts today but could be drawn out into tomorrow. So pour some coffee and let s focus on Illinois.
The dam is eroding …
An great candidate who isn’t tied to Madigan, glad she’s running.
She didn’t attend the meeting of either the Black or Latinx caucus. I wonder what they will think of this.
And what her reasons for not attending were.
Fav Human…she may have just decided to run for speaker after both Black/Latinx caucuses met - I hope?
Tick-tock..tick-tock..
Waiting on MJM to tell spokesperson Brown, CoS, and senior staff to..start packing. “no way around this.”
I like the focus on the environment and the plight of working women. Ready for this change.

State Rep. Tom Demmer, of Dixon, is considering a run for statewide office in 2022. Whether for governor, U.S. Senate or another position, he has not decided.
The 34-year-old Illinois House deputy minority leader has most recently been in the news as the leading Republican on the House Special Investigating Committee of Democratic Speaker Michael Madigan. He’s also one of the House Republicans’ lead negotiators on the state budget and Medicaid legislation.
Demmer said in an interview with Capitol News Illinois this week that he began contemplating a statewide run after discussions with colleagues on some of the “longer running issues” facing Illinois, including public corruption and seemingly never-ending budget pressures. Those issues, he said, have sewn distrust in government that he believes can be remedied through bipartisan problem solving and coalition building.
