Applications open for 26th Senate District seat

Suburban Republican Party leaders are accepting applications for the soon-to-be-vacant 26th Senate District seat.

State Sen. Dan McConchie, a Hawthorn Woods Republican, has announced his resignation, effective Sunday. Republican Party officials will choose someone to finish his term, which ends in January 2027.

State law requires the seat to be filled within 30 days of a vacancy.
