"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."
