[July 27, 2007]  CHICAGO -- The following is a statement from Andy McKenna, chairman of the Illinois Republican Party:

"Ray LaHood has been a dedicated public servant for more than 30 years. The Republican Party greatly appreciates his dedication, hard work ethic and long-standing commitment to Republican principles and the people of the 18th District. Illinois is better off today thanks to his service.

"We anticipate an open and spirited debate by those seeking to become the next congressman of the 18th District. Thanks to the hard work of congressman LaHood and the number of qualified Republican leaders, the party is confident the 18th District will remain Republican for many years to come."
