* Press release…
State Senator Rachelle Aud Crowe was recently confirmed by the United States Senate to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois. Leading up to her swearing in, she released the following statement after resigning from the Illinois Senate Wednesday:
“Since joining the Senate in 2019, I’ve felt overwhelming support from my family, my colleagues in the General Assembly and the Metro East community—my heart is full of gratitude as I submit my resignation.
“I will cherish the partnerships and friendships that grew in my time in the Illinois Senate as we worked to advocate for change, update laws and improve our great state together. While serving the diverse communities of the 56th District was often challenging, I was overjoyed to see how we are united in our fight to enhance opportunities for families across the state.
“I am forever grateful to families of the 56th District for giving me the opportunity to serve, and I thank you all for your encouragement and thoughtfulness over the years. I love Illinois, and I look forward to continuing my work in public service in my new position.”
Senator Crowe submitted her formal resignation Wednesday, June 15 and was effective as of 10 a.m.
For a brief moment, the Senate’s membership included an actual fed. Weird times.
…Adding… Senate President Harmon…
Senate President Don Harmon issued a statement praising Crowe’s tenure in the Illinois Senate.
“Rachelle Crowe is a rising star who has been a strong voice for the people and communities she represented and the issues they care about. She will be a fantastic U.S. attorney, and I look forward to following her successful career,” Harmon said.

Unlike in the other chamber, where a former member who shall remain nameless always bragged that he was a former fed.

Rep. Jim Sacia was a former fed.

Crowe will be missed in the Senate. Hope Tharp does just as good.

Crowe will be an excellent US Attorney. Of course, I have to question the political wisdom in removing a Democratic incumbent from the legislature in a year that will have strong headwinds against the party in an area of the state that the party is losing steam, even if the 56th district was “shored up,” during the reapportionment process.

That’s a new kind of Club Fed for Illinois pols.

I was thinking of that one guy from Highwood, his name I’ve tried to forget.
