Voters for the first time since 1999 will have a new name to pick from on the Democrat side of the ticket for Secretary of State. Jesse White says he is not going to be running for a 7th term.
State Senator Michael Hastings is officially running for the office. The Democrat from Tinley Park says he wants to continue to expand online services from the Secretary of State.
“I will make it my priority to travel across the state of Illinois. To better understand what matters most to you and how I can make your experience with government better.”
Former State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and Chicago City Clerk Anna Valencia have expressed a strong interest in running on the Democrat side too.
