Dave Sullivan (born December 29, 1964, in Chicago) is a former Illinois State Senator and is a member of the Republican Party. He was first appointed in 1998 to fill a vacancy following the death of former State Senator Marty Butler, and in 2000 and 2002, was subsequently re-elected. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Marquette University.[1]
He resigned in September 2005 and did not run for re-election in the 2006 state elections stating that his salary would not cover the cost of sending his four children to Marquette University.[citation needed]
During the 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries, Sullivan worked on behalf of the presidential campaign of former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson as a congressional district chair for Illinois's 9th congressional district.[2]
