Martin McLaughlin: Fighting Gerrymandering and Restoring Fair Representation in Illinois

Martin McLaughlin joined the podcast to discuss:

• How Governor Pritzker and Illinois Democrats manipulated redistricting maps to entrench one-party control.
• The loss of fair representation for Republican and independent voters due to decades of political gerrymandering.
• The need for a nonpartisan redistricting commission and greater citizen involvement in local and state politics.

Martin McLaughlin serves as State Representative for Illinois' 52nd District and is a longtime business leader and former mayor of Barrington Hills. With over 35 years of experience in investment management, he has built a reputation as a fiscal conservative committed to transparency, local control, and taxpayer accountability. Known for lowering property taxes and challenging political insiders, McLaughlin now fights to expose government hypocrisy and restore balance in Springfield. (edited)
