Michael J. Madigan
Michael Madigan (Democratic Party) was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, representing District 22. He assumed office in 1971. He left office on February 18, 2021.
Madigan (Democratic Party) ran for re-election to the Illinois House of Representatives to represent District 22. He won in the general election on November 3, 2020.
Madigan resigned from the state House on February 18, 2021.[1]
Madigan was the speaker of the state House. He served as House speaker from 1983 until 1995, when Republicans took control of the state House. Democrats retook the House in 1997, and Madigan was again selected to serve as House speaker. In 2017, Madigan became the longest-serving state House speaker in U.S. history.[2] Madigan served as House speaker until January 13, 2021, when Rep. Chris Welch (D) was elected to replace him.[3]
After several individuals were indicted in an alleged plot to influence Madigan, 19 of the 73 Democrats in the House publicly opposed Madigan's candidacy for speaker. After falling short of the 60 votes necessary to be reelected as speaker in an initial round of voting, Madigan suspended his campaign for the position.[4] On March 3, 2022, Madigan was indicted on federal charges of racketeering and bribery.[5] Click here to learn more.

Issues
Millionaire's tax
In April 2014, Madigan supported a millionaire's tax as a method for getting more money for public education. A similar proposal was supported by State Senator Don Harmon, which would include a 6.9 percent for those making more than $180,000 a year and an extra 3 percent for those making more than $1 million a year.[7]
Pension cap
Speaker Madigan Pension Testimony |
At the beginning of the 2011 session, Madigan testified about HJRCA 0062, which would create caps on Illinois’ pension spending.[8]
Madigan sponsored a bill that would create a constitutional amendment capping state spending and another that would create an amendment requiring a super-majority vote for any governmental body to increase pension benefits. Both measures were approved by committee, "leading some to wonder at the sincerity of the speaker’s sudden call for fiscal restraint."
“It’s kind of like ‘Stop me before I legislate again,’” said Kent Redfield, a professor of political science at the University of Illinois-Springfield.
Madigan touched on this philosophy when telling lawmakers of the need to change the state constitution to require a three-fifths vote from the Legislature or any local government or school district when considering a pension increase. This could be an increase in the amount of a current benefit, an addition of a new benefit or an expansion of the category of eligible individuals.
“It’s just too easy for a member of the Legislature to vote ‘yes’ for the pension benefit increase because there is no price tag attached to the bill,” Madigan said. “The price comes later – as we are all finding out.”[9]

2016 primary
- Main article: Battleground Illinois primary elections, 2016
Race background
NBC Chicago's politics blog Ward Room featured the District 22 race in its twice-weekly column "Race to Watch." Gonzales touted his story of having "non-violent run-ins with the law" as a teenager to becoming a graduate of Harvard University and MIT.[15][16]
Gonzales was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune over Madigan. "He has resources and money—some from reform-minded donors who support redistricting and term limits, and some from supporters of Gov. Bruce Rauner who are tired of Madigan's iron grip on state government," the paper stated.[17]
After the election, Gonzales filed a lawsuit alleging that Madigan had run ads accusing Gonzales of being a criminal and that Madigan had assisted two other candidates in filing so that they could divert votes away from Gonzales.[18] Gonzales said, "This isn’t about me being a sore loser. It isn’t about me crying because I lost. It’s about justice. It’s about justice for me. It’s about justice for every candidate who has come before and will go ahead."[19] Madigan said Gonzales "cannot be trusted and his lawsuit is without merit... Voters of my district soundly renominated me based on my strong record of service, giving me more than 65 percent of the vote, and they emphatically rejected Jason Gonzales because they knew he couldn't be trusted."[18] In 2021, a three-judge panel ruled in favor of Madigan.[20]
Campaign finance
Illinois United for Change, a political action committee whose purpose is "to support reform-minded candidates and other political movements in Illinois," spent over $100,000 in support of Gonzales. Under Illinois campaign finance law, this action removes limits on campaign spending and allows committees to raise unlimited funds leading up to the election, which means Madigan's committee, Friends of Michael J. Madigan, was also permitted to raise unlimited funds.[21]
Blair Hull, a Democrat who ran against then-state Sen. Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in 2004, is a major donor to Illinois United for Change. Most of the money Hull gave to the group went toward ads against Madigan and in support of Gonzales.[22]

Noteworthy events
Convicted on federal charges of racketeering and bribery (2025)
On February 12, 2025, Madigan was found guilty on ten counts related to conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud and acquitted on seven charges. In a four-month long trial in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Madigan was acquitted on four counts of using interstate facilities to promote unlawful activity, two bribery counts, and an attempted extortion count. The jury did not reach a unanimous verdict on six counts and U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey declared a mistrial for those. [32] A sentencing date was not set following the verdict.[33]
On June 13, 2025, Madigan was sentenced to seven and one half years in federal prison along with a $2.5 million fine by U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey.[34] During the sentencing hearing, Madigan stated “I tried to do my best to serve the people of the state of Illinois.”[35]
Indicted on federal charges of racketeering and bribery (2022)
On March 2, 2022, a grand jury indicted Madigan on 22 federal charges of racketeering and bribery. The indictment alleged that Madigan used his official position to illegally solicit and receive bribes and steer business to his private Chicago law firm. Madigan was accused of directing his close friend and co-defendant Michael F. McClain to carry out various illegal activities, including influencing the Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) utility company and other businesses to pay Madigan's associates for services in exchange for their loyalty to Madigan. The indictment also alleged that Madigan demanded that one of his associates be added to the utility's board.[36]
Following the indictment, U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch Jr. said in a statement, “Corruption by an elected official and his associates undermines the public’s confidence in our government. ...The indictment alleges a long-term, multifaceted scheme to use public positions for unlawful private gain. Rooting out and prosecuting the kind of corruption alleged in the indictment will always be a top priority for this office.”[5]
Madigan released a statement after the indictment, saying, "I was never involved in any criminal activity. The government is attempting to criminalize a routine constituent service: job recommendations. That is not illegal, and these other charges are equally unfounded. ...Throughout my 50 years as a public servant, I worked to address the needs of my constituents, always keeping in mind the high standards required and the trust the public placed in me. I adamantly deny these accusations and look back proudly on my time as an elected official, serving the people of Illinois."[36]
Madigan pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 9, 2022.[37] His trial was planned to began on March 14, 2023.[38] The trial ultimately began in October 2024.[39]
Suspension of campaign for speaker (January 2021)
On January 11, 2021, Madigan announced the suspension of his campaign for the speakership after he failed to get enough votes to keep the position. "This is not a withdrawal. I have suspended my campaign for Speaker. As I have said many times in the past, I have always put the best interest of the House Democratic Caucus and our members first. The House Democratic Caucus can work to find someone, other than me, to get 60 votes for Speaker," Madigan said. Madigan needed 60 votes to retain his post, but received only 51 votes in the first round of voting on Sunday, January 10. [40]
After several individuals were indicted in what law enforcement described as a scheme to influence Madigan, 19 of the 73 House Democrats said they would not support Madigan for another term in that position, denying him the support he needed to retain the speakership. On January 13, 2021, Emanuel Chris Welch was elected speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives with 70 votes. [41][42]
Subpoena in public corruption investigation (2020)
On July 17, 2020, federal authorities subpoenaed Madigan's office in the state capitol as part of an investigation into a public utilities corruption case. On that same day, federal prosecutors filed corruption charges and levied a $200 million fine against public utility company Commonwealth Edison. The subpoena involved records of Madigan's interactions with additional political figures and private companies. No charges were filed against Madigan.[43] Commonwealth Edison admitted that the company attempted to lobby the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives known as "Public Official A," who was not identified by name but confirmed to be Madigan as he was serving as House Speaker at the time. The utility company said that it made payments and organized jobs and contracts for individuals close to Madigan in efforts to influence Madigan's votes in the legislature.[44]
A spokesperson for Madigan responded with a statement that said, "The speaker accepted subpoenas related to his various offices for documents. He will cooperate and respond to those requests for documents, which he believes will clearly demonstrate that he has done nothing criminal or improper."[45] On July 30, 2020, Madigan stated, "I have no plans to resign."[46]
On September 2, 2020, a special investigative committee was created to investigate Madigan's involvement with Commonwealth Edison. House Majority Leader Greg Harris (D) named Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch (D) committee chair. Two additional Democrats were appointed to the committee: Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez and Rep. Natalie Manley. Republican representatives Tom Demmer, Deanne Mazzochi, and Grant Wehrli were also appointed to the committee.[47] According to a Chicago Sun Times' report on December 14, 2020, the special investigative committee determined Madigan did not commit any wrongdoing in relation to Commonwealth Edison. The committee vote was split along party lines.[48]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents.

Illinois had 183 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 156 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[56][57]
Twenty-seven party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[56][58]
