In a statement, Bowman said, "Illinois’s crises need the intellectual firepower and creative thinking that Jeff will bring to Springfield. Those of us committed to better government have known Jeff for many years to be a proven and dedicated advocate of reform."
Bowman, an economist and associate professor of public service management at DePaul University, was the longest-serving state representative from Evanston in recent memory. He subsequently served as the chief financial officer of Cook County, and writes a column for the Nonprofit Quarterly on ethics.
