State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-55th) of Des Plaines
Longtime State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-55th) will seek a seventh term in the Illinois House of Representatives and if he’s victorious, it will be his last.
Moylan, 74, was first elected state representative in 2013. Prior to that, he served as mayor of Des Plaines and 2nd ward alderman. He was also a business agent for the Chicagoland electrical union. His son, Colt, is currently 2nd ward alderman and works for the same union as his father did. Moylan has been involved in numerous local political campaigns for decades. Once he’s retired, Moylan vowed to continue his involvement in local elections and politics.
One of the primary reasons he wants to serve for another two years is to work on completion of the Chicago area’s mass transit funding bill. Moylan explained that he has been working on that legislation for the last year. While a proposed bill could be approved in the November General Assembly Veto Session, it’s unlikely because it would require a larger than usual number of votes in favor. After January, the number of votes required for passage is 60, said Moylan.
Moylan, along with dozens of candidates seeking various elected offices in the spring primary and November general elections are currently circulating petitions with signatures of registered voters to earn a position on the fall ballot. Valid petitions must be turned into the state near the end of October.
