George H Ryan Elected Republican Speaker Hopeful
George H Ryan, a pharmacist turned politician, was unanimously elected as the Republican candidate for speaker of the Illinois House. The 44 year old from Kankakee will head the GOP contingent for two years, with 88 Republicans and 89 Democrats in the next General Assembly, though results are being contested in two races. Ryan, minority leader since 1977, expects unity among Republicans and plans to announce assistant leadership post selections after January 10. He vows to cooperate with Gov. Thompson when needed while preserving the legislature’s identity. He was unopposed for speaker and rose after defeating several rivals in 1976. He was born in Maquoketa, Iowa, educated in Kankakee, Ferris State University, and is married to Lara Lynn Lowe with six children.
