THE ILLINOIZE: Marron expected to resign...Republicans land competitive primary for 104th showdown...Budget surplus expected...Campaign updates

November 21, 2023

Good morning, Illinois.

This is our last newsletter for the week. We’re going to take a couple of days off, cook a bunch of food for family, and I turn 40 on Thursday. More importantly, our little guy turns two on Friday.

There’s nothing on the Governor’s public schedule today.

I hope you have a great holiday with family and friends. Politics makes me crazy, but I’m still thankful for our crazy state and the knuckleheads we deal with each and everyday.

Have a great Thanksgiving. We’ll be back Monday as petition filing starts.

Let’s get to it.

MARRON TO RESIGN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JOB

Rep. Mike Marron (R-Fithian), who has already announced he won’t seek re-election next year is expected to resign by the end of the year to take a local economic development job, multiple sources tell The Illinoize.
