Democratic state senator resigns amid FBI bribery investigation

A Democratic Illinois state senator announced his resignation just before the Thanksgiving holiday after being under investigation by the FBI for months.

State Sen. Martin Sandoval sent a letter to the secretary of the Senate explaining he would vacate his office on Jan. 1, 2020, writing, "It is with a heavy heart, I, Martin A. Sandoval, do hereby resign the office of state senator.”

“Respect for my constituents and the Senate convinced me that this action is necessary in order to proceed without distraction to the important work that needs to be accomplished for working families throughout the state of Illinois in the future,” he added.
