VOLUME 16, NO. 3 • DECEMBER 2002Democrats Sweep State Elections
D
emocrats captured the Illinois Senate and kept control of the House for the 93rd General Assem-bly. The House will have 66 Demo-cratic and 52 Republican members; the Senate will have 32 Democrats, 26 Republicans, and 1 Independent. Democrats also won all but one state-wide executive office (Treasurer), as well as the U.S. Senate seat that was up for election. But in the only U.S. House race in which incumbents faced each other, Republican John Shimkus defeated Democrat David Phelps for district 19 in southern Illi-nois.In an upset in the General Assembly races, Democratic challenger John Sullivan defeated Senator Laura Kent Donahue of Quincy for the 47th Sen-ate district. The SenSen-ate will also get its first member in many years who is not affiliated with a political party: Rev. James T. Meeks of Calumet City, who pastors a church in Chicago.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the November 2002 election results was the large number of new mem-bers. The Senate will get eight totally new members (six Democrats, one Republican, and one independent). In addition, seven current representatives and one former representative (four Democrats and four Republicans) are moving to the Senate; and one Repub-lican appointed to the Senate in the 92nd General Assembly has been elected to the 93rd. The House will get 24 totally new members (14 Democrats and 10 Republicans); three (two Democrats and one Republican) who were appointed to the 92nd Gen-eral Assembly; one Democratic sena-tor who is moving to the House; and one former Republican representative returning to the House.
Biographies of new members of the Senate begin on page 3; House mem-bers’ biographies begin on page 8. A list of Senate members for the 93rd General Assembly is on page 7; House members begin on page 14.
