Hammack Considers Run for 56th Senate District
Pinckneyville real estate broker Dean R. Hammack said he is seriously considering a Democratic bid for state senator from the newly redrawn 56th District. The former representative noted reapportionment creates a larger but balanced turf spanning Jackson, Randolph, Monroe and added counties, with no clear party edge. He cited the 1964 swing toward Democrats and expects the national trend to influence next year’s race.
