Deanna Demuzio in 2010, Republican Sen. William “Sam” McCann has impressed colleagues with his focus and flexibility. Diplomatic and thoughtful, he listens more than he talks, and he makes up his mind only after hearing all sides. We hope his fellow lawmakers will heed his call to finish the business of workers compensation reform. He wins the endorsement over Gray Noll, a Sangamon County assistant state’s attorney.”

“It seems like that revolving door that leads to Tony Libri’s back room seems to be in constant motion, and I think the voters in Sangamon County, the Republican rank-and-file and the Republican central committeeman are tired of this 11th-hour nonsense,” McCann said.
