Outgoing Illinois Republican State Sen. Dan McConchie, 26th Dist., who wrote a scathing opinion piece in the Chicago Sun-Times accusing President Donald Trump of inciting “violence” and “sedition” on January 6th – has issued a strong endorsement for his replacement – backing the GOP state party chairwoman’s son – citing his “loyalty” as one of his qualifications to lead the Senate district.
In a January 7, 2021 OpEd in the Chicago Sun-Times, McConchie wrote,
“I have never before had to question whether my president was inciting violence or sedition…This riotous activity could understandably cause an instinctual reaction to abandon the party claimed by the president and the people who put him in the position to abuse his power and encourage this chaos.”
McConchie then praised the IL GOP for its commitment to rooting out corruption, writing,
“Here in Illinois, the GOP is centered around rooting out the corruption that festers in the halls of our government and restoring the public’s faith in our representative democracy. It is this shared value system and dedication that will be the cornerstone of our renewal.”
