Election Preview: A Look At The Expensive 55th District State Rep. Race
Via Progress Illinois
The state representative contest in Illinois’ northwest suburban 55th district is one of the hottest and most expensive legislative races this election season.
Incumbent freshman State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) is running against businessman Mel Thillens (R-Park Ridge) in the state House’s 55th district.
Moylan, the former mayor of Des Plaines, was first elected to the state legislature in 2012 after beating Republican Susan Sweeney in the open race for the 55th state representative seat.
Thillens is vice president of Thillens Inc., his family-owned Chicago armored truck cash delivery company, and also serves as board president of the Park Ridge Park District.
