Reaction of U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert to Governor Quinn's Announcement about IL Senate Seat
02/20/09 Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Judy Biggert (R-IL-13th) today issued the following statement after Governor Quinn called on Senator Roland Burris to resign amid questions about his appointment and called for a special election to fill the vacant seat:
“It was the right call. This Senate selection process has been tainted from the start, and Illinois residents deserve a chance to have their confidence restored. I hope that our new Senator agrees to put this scandal to bed and that Illinois residents get a chance to select the person they trust most for the job through an open and fair election.”
