State Representative and Senator

I actually just officially changed my address to McLean County so that's why I used for this assignment. A little background on McLean is even though it is the largest county in Illinois it ranks 13th for population. McLean was originally formed out of Tazewell County in 1930 and named after John McLean. John McLean was a Senator for Illinois and died in 1930. As far as farmland goes it is one of the top-producing counties for both corn and soybeans.

The state representative for McLean County is Dan Brady who is a Republican. He was the McLean county coroner from 1992 to 2000. In 2003, he became the State Representative for McLean County. A few of the issues that Brady supports is keeping the existing gun control laws, stopping unfunded state mandates placed on local governments, and developing new markets for agriculture in Illinois. He is also a pro-life supporter.

The Senators for Illinois are Richard Durbin and Roland Burris. Richard Durbin was appointed to his Senate seat in 1996 and then was reelected in 2002. According to his website his issues are protecting consumers, fighting for farmers, enforcing gun control, and working for a fair tax credit.

Roland Burris was just recently appointed to his Senate seat after President Obama won the election in November and left the seat vacant.

I didn't find anything as far as current events for these guys when I googled them.
