Longtime Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is trying out a new way to connect with voters: the internet. \

Madigan hasn’t had a Facebook page or website until now. MadiganForUs.com features the powerful House Speaker and state Democratic Party chairman sporting a plaid shirt and reading to school children. 

When asked why Madigan launched the website now, spokesman Steve Brown said “there’s been electronic communication going on for quite a while.”
