Retiring Lawmaker Exit Interview: Sen. David Luechtefeld

Office of Sen. David Luechtefeld

Several long-serving lawmakers are retiring from the General Assembly when their terms end in January.  

Between now and the time they leave office, Illinois Issues editor Jamey Dunn will catch up with some of them for exit interviews reflecting on the time they spent as legislators.

Up this week is a conversation with Republican Sen. David Luechtefeld from Okawville. He has served in the Senate for more than two decades.
