* From House Republican Leader Jim Durkin’s spokesperson Eleni Demertzis…

Rich,

Wanted to let you know that Leader Durkin announced he will be seeking the position of House Republican Leader for the 102nd General Assembly and has secured a majority of votes of the caucus today. Leader Durkin and the House Republican Caucus look forward to continuing the fight against corruption in the General Assembly, and working to fix the state’s fiscal woes for the voters who so desperately demand change. The people of Illinois sent a clear message for change by voting out four House Democrats allegiant to Madigan and the defeat of yet another tax hike proposal.

Congrats to Leader Durkin.

My sincere best wishes to a productive term as Leader and to reassessing, regrouping, and recruitment… and building a diverse and strong caucus with election wins.

I couldn’t help but notice she did not say it was unanimous.

You mean Avery Bourne, as in the same Avery Bourne that carried Rauner’s water every chance she got? I don’t know about that.
