A.G. Madigan Will Not Seek Re-Election

A political stunner! Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced she will not run for re-election next year.

Madigan made the surprise announcement even though she had previously said she plans to seek another term.

The popular attorney general was first elected in 2002. Her statement Friday did not include her future plans, which leave many people speculating.

Madigan will serve out her fourth term in office, serving since 2003. Her father, Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan said he's proud of what his daughter has accomplished
