Sen. Brad Burzynski is retiring from the 35th District on Feb. 14, ending a legislative career that began when he was elected to the state House in 1990. In 1992, he won the race for state Senate.
The 55-year-old Rochelle Republican gave no particular reason for his retirement except “it’s time, and I want to move on to other things in my life.”
Burzynski has represented large parts of Rockford, but he has left the city’s legislative affairs to Sen. Dave Syverson of the 34th District and concentrated on other areas east of Rockford.
