Senator Durbin says he asked Speaker Madigan to “take a different approach” in selecting a new executive director of the Democratic Party of IL. Says he suggested putting together a panel of females to lead the search pic.twitter.com/4zYaBGgJ0g
DURBIN ON MADIGAN: we're going to find out what happens from this time forward. I asked him to make a significant move to show that he gets it. So I'm going to stand by to see how this progresses.
The Pritzker campaign isn’t commenting on Madigan’s move, but all indications are that there was some communication between the speaker and the nominee before Stratton was named chair. What that says about the eventual selection of an executive director remains to be seen, but Pritzker is going to have some explaining to do if the person is seen as a Madigan flunky.
