House Republican lawmakers have introduced legislative proposals aimed at ethics reform in the Illinois statehouse. Representatives Patrick Windhorst, Dave Severin, and David Friess highlighted the issue of public corruption, pointing to previous guilty verdicts that have implicated members of the Illinois General Assembly, including former House Speaker Michael Madigan.

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie voiced the party's position: "Illinoisans are sick and tired of corruption running rampant in their state government. While Democrats protect the status quo, House Republicans are fighting to restore public trust and accountability. Ethics reform isn’t optional, it’s essential. The people of Illinois deserve leaders who serve them, not self-serving politicians who manipulate the system for personal gain. We will not stop pushing for real reforms to clean up this broken system!"

The Republican-backed ethics reform aims to address issues and restore public faith in government operations.
