CHICAGO — ILGOP Chairman Kathy Salvi released the following statement following Illinois Senator Dick Durbin’s decision to retire after 44 years in Congress:
“After decades of speeches and zero real progress for Illinois families, Dick Durbin is stepping aside—proof that even the most entrenched eventually find the exit. Illinois families have a long-overdue chance to turn the page and elect a leader who will fight for lower taxes, less government spending, true support for Israel and our national and economic security.”
