Rep. Welch Issues Statement About Illinois Attorney General!

September 18, 2017

State Representative Emanuel "Chris" Welch, D-7th, Issues Statement About Illinois Attorney General:

(The Following Statement was Released By State Representative Welch on Sunday, September 17, 2017.)

"Hey Friends! You may have seen recent news reports of my name being floated for Illinois Attorney General. Of course, it is humbling to be encouraged by supporters to pursue the office of Illinois Attorney General now that Honorable Lisa Madigan has decided to retire. Nevertheless, in 2012, I was first elected to the position of State Representative for the 7th district based on a promise to fight for the community in which I was raised, in which I was educated, in which I have made my professional career, and a place where my wife and I are deeply rooted and raising two beautiful children. That promise remains my priority. With President Trump and Governor Rauner deliberately undermining healthcare programs, attacking public education, and discarding the most vulnerable citizens of our state, my fight for the people of the 7th district must remain my chief responsibility. While it's an honor to be mentioned as a potential Attorney General candidate, to continue to serve as your State Representative at this pivotal moment, is an honor, a privilege and my duty. Thank you all for your continued support."
