Springfield, Illinois: Sabhapat Welch 26 Democraton ki naye netritva ki maang ke baad ek aur karyakaal nahi chahenge

Illinois House ke sabhapat Emanuel Chris Welch sabhapat ke roop mein ek aur karyakaal nahi chahenge, jab 26 vartamaan aur aane wale House Democraton ne kaha ki supermajority caucus ko naye netritva ki zaroorat hai. Welch ne guruvaar, 5 November ki dopahar Springfield mein ek bayan mein is nirnay ki ghoshna ki. Ve House nahi chhod rahe hain. Ve sabhapat ka pad chhodenge aur naya sabhapat unki jagah lene par niyamit caucus sadasya ke roop mein sewa karenge.

Welch January 2021 se sabhapat hain. Ve Illinois ke itihas mein pehle Black sabhapat the. Apne bayan mein Welch ne kaha ki unhe is kaam par garv hai, lekin ve caucus ki ichha par sewa karte hain, aur ve chahte hain ki caucus ekta mein netritva kare. Unhone agle neta ka swagat karte hue caucus mein shamil hone ki baat bhi kahi.

26 hastaksharkartaon ne budhvaar, 4 November ki der shaam apna bayan jaari kiya. House Democraton ke paas agle General Assembly mein sambhavatah 84 ya 85 sadasya honge, aur sabhapat chunne ke liye 60 vote chahiye. Yadi 26 sadasya ek saath rahe aur Welch ko koi Republican samarthan na mile, to ve unhe pad se rokne ke liye kaafi hain. Pratinidhi Mary Beth Canty ne ginti saaf shabdon mein rakhi: mujhe 60 tak ka raasta nahi dikhta.

Welch ki apni netritva team ke chaar sadasyon ne bayan par hastakshar kiye: Chicago ki pratinidhi Eva-Dina Delgado, Cicero ki pratinidhi Lisa Hernandez, Deerfield ke pratinidhi Bob Morgan aur Edwardsville ki pratinidhi Katie Stuart. Hernandez Democratic Party of Illinois ki adhyaksh bhi hain. FOX 32 Chicago ne guruvaar ko wahi ghoshna report ki aur kaha ki Welch ko Governor JB Pritzker ka samarthan milna sambhav nahi lagta.

Welch ka nirnay poorv pratinidhi Harry Benton, Plainfield ke Democrat, ke khilaf yaun utpidan ke aaropon ko sambhalne par mahinon ki aalochana ke baad aaya hai. Benton ne July mein istifa diya tha. July mein prakashit ek legislative inspector general report ne kaha ki Welch ke karyalaya ko April 2023 mein hi Benton ke khilaf ek aarop ki jankari thi, lekin us varsh July tak Benton ke saath woh vishay nahi uthaya gaya. Welch ke niyantran wali House Democratic campaign sanstha ne Benton ke 2024 punah chunav abhiyan ke samarthan mein 1.4 million dollar kharch kiye. FOX 32 ne report kiya ki Democraton ki chinta Benton maamle ko sambhalne aur karyasthal sanskriti ki shikayaton par kendrit thi.

Sabhapat ke liye matadan January mein, naye General Assembly ki shuruaat mein hoga. Caucus aam taur par veto satra ke dauran aantarik netritva chunav karte hain, jo 17 se 19 November aur 1 se 3 December ke liye taya hai.
