Reps. Dan Ugaste (R-St. Charles) and David Friess (R-Red Bud) speak at a press conference Monday morning at the Illinois Statehouse. 

Republican lawmakers are making a push to pass a statewide recall amendment.  

Rep. Dan Ugaste (R-St. Charles) has filed two pieces of legislation that aim to give voters the ability to recall local and state elected officials.  

House Bill 5924 would allow for any local government official elected during a general or consolidated election to be recalled. That would include local mayors, city council members, county commissioners and state’s attorneys, for instance.
