Illinois Senator Karen McConnaughay to step down next Monday
Illinois Senator Karen McConnaughay (R-West Dundee) says next Monday will be her last day serving the 33rd Senate District after being first elected in 2012.
Some of her words as posted on Facebook Friday afternoon: ...six years ago I came to understand human trafficking and what a heinous problem it is in Illinois and I am proud of the human trafficking task force that I co-chaired to create recommendations on combating human slavery. It is my hope the General Assembly will use that road map to create meaningful legislation to end this epidemic.
McHenry County Blog reports that in July, former St. Charles mayor Don DeWitte was picked by GOP committeemen for the district to complete McConnaughay's term.
