Andre Vasquez, Political Account
@Andrefor40thToday, I, along with some of my fellow Alders, released a statement for Mike Madigan to step down from his role as Speaker and Leader of the Democratic Party of IL. In the times we are in, we can’t afford the distraction from the work that needs to be done.
None of the following elected Democrats have called for Madigan’s resignation:
McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, who voted for Madigan to be House Speaker nine times.
Democratic Party Chair’s Association Chair Kristina Zahorik.
McHenry County Board member Suzanne Ness, who is running for State Rep.
McHenry County Board member Michael Vijuk.
McHenry County Board member Carlos Acosta.
McHenry County Board member Paula Yensen.
And the Northwest Herald has not asked yet.
Who are the six (err, five) Chicago Alderpeople calling for Madigan’s resignation? 😁
buddies till the end… LOL…
The six Chicago Alderpeople are first termers, who have NO relationship with Madigan anywa
They’re Socialists too. 🙂
From Vasquez’s Twitter, the six Chicago Alderpeople are:
Andre Vasquez (40),
Matt Martin (47),
Daniel La Spata (1) * ,
Maria Hadden (49),
Rosanna Rodriguez
Sanchez (33) and
Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25) ** .
* Also Ward Committeeperson, so he talks to Madigan somewhat
** Vito Marzullo’s old ward
😁
They just bought primary fights!
Maybe. Madigan isn’t (that) involved with local Chicago races. 😑
Vijuk is a real sick puppy.
He claims to be Republican is proof of racial bigotry.
Hmmmmmm.
He’s the creepiest. Acosta is just a flunkey-parasite.
Yensen just a loon.
I would be embarrassed to claim to be a Democrat…..corruption everywhere.
The sun will rise in the west before Jack Franks asks his patron, Mike Madigan, to step down.
Unless it’s for Madigan to “step down” to pick up his checkbook and host yet ANOTHER fundraiser for his vassal, Jack Franks…
