A competitive race is shaping up in one southern Illinois legislative district.
Tuesday, Massac County’s State’s Attorney Patrick Windhorst announced his plan to run against longtime representative Brandon Phelps.
Windhorst says his first priority is removing Mike Madigan from the speaker’s chair.
Doing that, he says, starts with replacing Phelps.
“Right now our representative is supporting Mike Madigan,” Windhorst said. “Mike Madigan is holding back all of the reforms that are going to turn our state around. Until we can remove Madigan, we’re not going to have the change we need, and to to remove Madigan we’ve got to remove Phelps.”
