The former Mayor of Dixon, Illinois, who helped lead the City following one of the largest municipal accounting scandals in Illinois history, Li Arellano is now a State Senator. On Tuesday, Arellano defeated two other challengers for the seat, Tim Yager and Chris Bishop. Arellano takes over the seat being vacated by State Senator Win Stoller who decided not to run for re-election. Stoller endorsed and campaigned for Arellano as his replacement. With no Democrats running in the 37th District, Arellano will sail on to victory in November. On social media, Arellano thanked supporters…
“Thanks to all of you: Victory! šŖš½
Iām am honored and humbled at the support and trust placed in me tonight, and so very thankful to the dedicated campaign team and volunteers that made this victory possible. I have come from the people, to serve the people!

The work is just beginning!”
