State Senator Jason Plummer has commented on the recent guilty verdict against former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. In his statement, Plummer emphasized that the issues within Illinois politics extend beyond a single individual.

"This guilty verdict was well-deserved," Plummer stated. He expressed concern about "an ongoing culture of corruption" in the state's political landscape. According to Plummer, immediate action is necessary to implement "true ethics reforms" to protect residents from what he describes as a culture perpetuated by Madigan, Governor J.B. Pritzker, and their allies who remain influential.

The statement highlights Plummer's call for reform in response to longstanding issues he perceives within Illinois' political system.
