Seth Lewis Reacts to Independent Map Ruling

Today, State Senate Candidate, Seth Lewis, made the following statement regarding yesterday’ Independent Map Ruling:

“This is just another example of how Illinois’ political system is rigged against the people by career politicians like Mike Madigan, who sue to stop good government reforms like fair maps and term limits.

“I am disappointed in today’s ruling, but the efforts of the over half million people who signed petitions and volunteered to work toward getting fair legislative maps on the November ballot will not be in vain.

“As your next State Senator, I will fight to get the fair maps and term limits on the ballot, so we can reform our political system and get state government working for the people again. Cullerton can’t credibly claim to support independent maps while his party’s leadership are the very people suing to stop them.

“We need independent leadership in the 23rd District, not someone who remains silent when party bosses expect it.”
