Third Democrat, Rep. Ann Williams, To Challenge Embattled Mike Madigan
Williams joins at least two other House Democrats planning to challenge Madigan for leadership of the Illinois House.
ILLINOIS — House Speaker when the new General Assembly is sworn in on Jan. 13. “I will lead the House Democratic Caucus collaboratively — with integrity, open communication, and respect for the voices of all Illinoisans,” Williams said in a statement.
Williams joins at least two other House Democrats planning to challenge Madigan for leadership of the Illinois House. In October, Rep. Stephanie Kifowit (D-Oswego) also announced she was running for speaker. According to multiple published reports, Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Addison), a member of Madigan’s leadership team, also is running.
