Members of the Representative Committee of the 70th district selected Republican Jeff Keicher to replace Pritchard in the role. Pritchard recently accepted a seat on the Northern Illinois University Board of Trustees after previously announcing he would retire from the General Assembly. Keicher faces Democrat Paul Stoddard in November in the election for a full term.
Libertarian candidate John Mathey is also running for the full term. There is an objection pending to his petition to run for office.
Keicher will represent the district, which is made up of Boone, DeKalb, and Kane counties. He will be sworn in on Tuesday.
