(Springfield, IL) — Sangamon County Republican leaders have chosen First Lady Diana Rauner’s chief of staff Sara Wojcicki Jimenez to replace Raymond Poe in the Illinois House. Jimenez fills the vacancy created when Poe was appointed by Governor Rauner to head the Department of Agriculture. The appointment likely means there will be no Republican primary fight over the seat, for which nominating petitions can be filed beginning next Monday.
