With Illinois Republicans losing ground in the Illinois House following last week’s election, a change in leadership is expected. House Minority Leader Jim Durkin announced he won’t be seeking the party’s support to lead the House Republican caucus. Republicans lost upwards to five House seats last week, despite having the most candidates challenge Democrats in recent years. State Rep. Tim Butler sees Savanna state Rep. Tony McComie rising to the top of leadership in the House.
State Rep. Dan Caulkins urged Republicans to be more judicious in who they chose to lead the caucus.
It’s also expected there could be a change in Republican leadership in the Illinois Senate with John Curran poised to replace Dan McConchie as that chamber’s minority leader.
