For Immediate Release

Sugar Grove, IL – State Senator and candidate for Congress in the 14th District, Jim Oberweis, is calling on State Senator Terry Link (D-Waukegan) to resign in the wake of the federal income tax charges he is facing.

“There is no doubt that Terry Link is the infamous Senator who wore a wire during the federal bribery investigation of former State Representative Luis Arroyo. Senator Link has betrayed the public trust with his actions, and he needs to resign from the Illinois Senate immediately. He also needs to resign his post as the head of the Lake County Democrat Party.

We need a new chapter of leadership in Illinois. It is imperative that we root out the culture of corruption in Springfield. It is time for Lauren Underwood to join in reform efforts instead of sitting on the sidelines. Instead of silence, she needs to join me in holding corrupt officials accountable for their actions. It should not take an act of Congress for Lauren Underwood to stand against unethical behavior.”
