When Illinois lawmakers return to Springfield next week, the focus will be on who will lead the Illinois House going forward. Speaker Emanual "Chris" Welch has decided he won't run for the job due to a loss of support from his caucus.

There are several potential replacements who could bid for the speaker's job. We discuss the process and what to expect.

Our panel features host Sean Crawford, Professor Emeritus Charlie Wheeler and the Chicago Tribune Chief Political Reporter Rick Pearson.
