State Representative Amy Elik (R-Alton) issued a statement after former House Speaker Michael J. Madigan began serving a 7.5-year sentence for corruption in a federal prison in West Virginia.
Elik commented, “Yesterday, former House Speaker Michael J. Madigan reported to prison to serve a 7 1/2 year sentence for corruption charges. I can honestly say that I’m shocked that we have finally seen the day where he is held accountable. It’s sad that the residents of Illinois were held captive under the reign of a corrupt politician for so long, and the stain of Madigan’s corruption is still deeply woven into the fabric of the Illinois Democrats who still operate under the Madigan Way today. Illinois residents are ready for real ethics reform, but the Democratic leaders have not yet found the courage to join us in trying to restore some faith in state government.”
Elik, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2021 to represent the state's 111th House District, succeeding Monica Bristow.
