Â
Illinois Republican State Sen. Dan McConchie, 26th Dist., announced on Monday that he would be resigning from the legislature on February 2nd to lead the nonprofit organization, Accessibility Policy Institute – but it’s his recommendation to replace him that’s causing concern amongst Republican circles.
According to GOP State Rep. Martin McLaughlin, 52nd Dist. – McConchie is recommending that IL GOP chair Kathy Salvi’ son, Joseph, replace him as the next state senator.
McConchie served a brief term as the Senate Minority Leader, but resigned from his position after Republicans were humiliated in the 2022 general election.
During the pandemic, McConchie supported the expansion of COVID-19 vaccinations for vulnerable populations and he sponsored legislation to protect health care providers from being held responsible for COVID-19 related deaths and injuries.
