"He went to the clerk's office six years ago, and I think he is eminently qualified," Currie said. "You all know him and I hope you will join me and vote for the accession to of John Hollman to the chief clerk of the Illinois House."
The House voted 111 in favor; zero voted no. Seven members were absent.
