A year after Michael Madigan gave up his ironclad grip on the state Democratic Party, officials look to modernize operations.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber’s leadership, said the races for state central committee seats are evidence of “a pent-up energy” after Madigan. “If people were active, what were their ideas? If people weren’t as active, what could we do to get them to be more active? How do we get more people involved with the party?” Kelly asked. “I’ve kind of lost count in all kinds of the places where what I heard was, ‘Wow, I was surprised to see the party chair.’”
This quarter, the party’s state account raised more than $350,000 but ended March of this year with nearly $2.9 million in cash. The party’s evolution from the Madigan era also is seen in the development, from scratch, of a digital program, something Witt called a “core part of how campaigns need to communicate in 2022.″
There are contested elections for 20 of the 34 seats. The party’s various factions and interests are vying for a seat at a smaller table, the result of Illinois losing one central committee seat as a result of the U.S. census that reduced the number of congressional seats from 18 to 17.
