Although he’s toyed with retiring before, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White — at 85 — says he won’t seek reelection in 2022.
White will finish his sixth term and won’t seek a seventh, spokesman Dave Druker said Thursday. White has plenty more to do in life “beyond being secretary of state,” Druker said.
“He enjoys working with the Tumblers and young people, and he’s going to stay involved in charitable events,” Druker said, referring to the Jesse White Tumbling Team, which White founded in 1959.
