Applications Available to Replace LaHood in Illinois Senate

Darin LaHoodPEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Applications are available to replace Darin LaHood in the Illinois Legislature.

LaHood resigned from the Illinois Senate and recently won a seat in Congress, replacing former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock. Schock resigned earlier this year after questions about spending.

The (Peoria) Journal Star reports that Republican Party leaders from the ten counties in the state Senate district have created a formal selection committee. LaHood is a Republican. Henry County GOP leader Jan Weber is leading the selection committee.

The committee tentatively has set Oct. 4 as the day to meet and choose a replacement.

Applicants must be 21-years-old, a registered voter and have lived in the district for two years.
