Rock Island attorney Jeff McKinley is
seeking the Republican nomination to represent the 71st district, which
includes parts of Rock Island and Whiteside counties. In 2012, Democrat
Mike Smiddy defeated incumbent Republican Rich Morthland following redistricting.
At Wednesday night's meeting of the Sauk Valley Tea Party McKinley introduced himself to those in attendance and explained what he would like to do as a state Representative in Springfield such as property tax reform. (Video below the fold)
