SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers have yet to draw up the every-ten-years redistricting map for congressional seats. Until they do, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) will be waiting.
Davis, who now represents the 13th District, says 2022 will be a Republican year regardless of whether he runs for Congress or governor.
“I think Gov. Pritzker is going to be a one-term governor,” said Davis Monday. “I think we Republicans will nominate a candidate that will rally Illinoisans around him or her and be able to change Illinois. Change the way things are going in Illinois. And you do not have to look too far to see what corruption in Illinois means. Look at (former Illinois House Speaker) Mike Madigan and his henchmen that have run this Capitol for decades, and many in the news media turned a bline eye to it.”
Davis has represented a district that takes in rural areas, college towns, and parts of Decatur and Springfield; from East Central Illinois to some Illinois suburbs of St Louis.
It’s possible Davis could be drawn into a district that would put him in a primary with another Republican.
At present four Republicans say they will run for governor in the June primary.
