Rickey R. Hendon is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 8, 1953 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Hendon served as alderman for Chicago’s 27th Ward before he ran for state senator. He was previously Secretary and Treasurer of the Cook County Forest Preserve.
Hendon and his then-colleague Barack Obama were at odds for a long time, culminating in a 2002 shoving match. Hendon voted for Obama in the 2008 election.
In October 2010, a federal grand jury issued subpoenas for state grants sponsored by Hendon, and there is currently an investigation going on regarding those grants. In that same month, Hendon made “nasty” remarks about State Senator Bill Brady, who was the Republican nominee for Governor. While introducing Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, Hendon told the crowd that he had “never served with such an idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic person in my life… If you think that women have no rights whatsoever, except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady.” Hendon’s remarks were immediately disavowed by Governor Quinn, among others, and Hendon was sharply criticized by members of the Illinois media. Hendon later tried to apologize to Brady on the Senate floor, but Brady would not accept his apology.
Hendon was elected an Illinois State Senator in 1992. He was an assistant majority leader, co-chairman of Senate Executive Appointments Committee and vice-chairman of Environment and Energy Committee. He is also a member of Labor and Commerce Committee and Illinois Legislative Black Caucus.
