}}Robert F. Martwick Jr. is a Democratic member of the Illinois House of Representatives, representing the 19th District since 2013. His district on Chicago’s Northwest Side includes parts of the Dunning, Gladstone Park, Jefferson Park, and Portage Park neighborhoods, in addition to portions of the suburbs of Elmwood Park, Harwood Heights, Norridge, and River Grove.[1]

In 2017, Martwick became the Democratic Committeeman for Chicago's 38th ward.[2]

Early life

Robert F. Martwick Jr. is descended from a civically active Polish American family traditionally associated with Chicago Polonia. His father was the Democratic Committeeman for Norwood Park Township and his uncle Richard Martwick served as Cook County Regional Superintendent of Education from 1970 until 1994.[3]

Martwick earned a bachelor of arts from Boston College in 1988, and went on to receive a juris doctor from John Marshall Law School in 1996.[4]

Martwick began his legal career as an Assistant State's Attorney in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. During his 5 years, he prosecuted various crimes including Delinquent Child Support, DUI and general misdemeanors, and spent 18 months as the lead prosecutor of the Domestic Violence Unit at the 2nd Municipal District courthouse. Martwick also spent 9 months in the Property Tax unit before leaving the office and entering private practice.

Early political career

Martwick was elected a Township Trustee for Norwood Park Township in 1993.

In 1996, he narrowly lost a race against Republican Senator Walter Dudycz, who at that time was Deputy Majority Leader, by less than 1% in 1996.[5] During the 1996 campaign, Martwick was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune.[6]

Martwick went on to run for Trustee of the Village of Norridge in 1999 at the behest of Mayor Earl Field. Martwick was reelected in 2003 and 2007 before retiring after his third term.

In 2002, Martwick unsuccessfully challenged Republican incumbent Peter N. Silvestri for Cook County Commissioner in the 9th district.[7]

Illinois General Assembly

After incumbent Representative Joseph M. Lyons announced he would not seek another term in September 2011, Martwick announced his intent to run for the open seat. He was elected in the 2012 general election.

Martwick the Chairperson of the Personnel & Pensions Committee. He is also assigned to the following committees: Elementary and Secondary Education: School Curric Policies; Revenue & Finance; and Transportation: Regulation, Roads.[8]

Advocacy for elected Chicago school board

Matwick is a staunch proponent of an elected school board for Chicago Public Schools.[9] Martwick has proposed bills for an elected Chicago school board during the previous two General Assemblies.

In the 99th General Assembly, Martwick was the chief sponsor of HB557. HB 557 would subdivide the City of Chicago into 20 electoral districts by the Illinois General Assembly for seats on the Chicago Board of Education. The bill passed the House 110-4 in March 2016, but stalled in the Illinois Senate.[10] During the 100th General Assembly, Martwick proposed House Bill 1774 which would provide for the election of the Chicago Board of Education starting with the 2019 consolidated election. The board would have had a single member elected citywide and twenty members elected from districts drawn by the state legislature. The bill passed the Illinois House of Representatives 105-9. A similar bill passed the Illinois Senate, but the two bills failed to be reconciled before the end of the legislative session.[11]

Firearm regulation legislation

As a freshman legislator, Martwick introduced House Bill 5318 that became an important part of the Illinois’s concealed carry legislation.[12]

Martwick's provision created an "automatic objection" to the application for a conceal and carry permit made by persons who had been arrested 5 or more times in the previous 7 years (for any reason) and by persons who had been arrested 3 or more times in the previous 7 years for gang related activity. Any person whose application has been objected to must appear before a 7 panel license review committee which holds a hearing and decides whether to grant the license to the applicant. This automatic objection process helped make Illinois' concealed carry law into a "hybrid" shall issue/may issue law, providing for a tool to deny licenses to people who repeatedly run afoul of the law, while at the same time ensuring that law abiding citizens would not have their rights infringed upon. Martwick's provision was widely backed by both concealed carry advocates and gun control advocates, and it received more votes than any other provision in the concealed carry legislation. Shortly after it became law, a known gang leader was denied a concealed carry permit due to this provision.[13]
