Which of These 16 Illinois Politicians Would Make the Scariest Zombies?

If you’re a fan of AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead,” you know living in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with decaying, flesh-hungry zombies — or walkers — ain’t easy. The challenges facing the show’s protagonist Rick Grimes and his group seem insurmountable, but they’re willing to do whatever it takes to survive and make a life for themselves.

Now imagine if there were a political edition of the show. There’d probably be no better state to have the show set it in than Illinois. After all, Illinoisans face daunting challenges of their own that seem too big to overcome, like agreeing on a state budget, the pension crisis and an ever-expanding lineup of corrupt public officials.

With that said and in celebration of Halloween, here are 16 of the most notable Illinois politicians turned zombies. We hope it provides you with some much-needed comic relief.
