Former Crystal Lake resident and Illinois Medical Society super-lobbyist Don Udstuen played a central role in the George Ryan corruption trial. Udstuen not only was a close advisor of Ryan when he was running for Illinois House Republican leader in the 1970’s, House Speaker, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State and Governor.

Indeed, it is probably not much, if any of an overstatement to suggest that Ryan would have held none of those offices without Udstuen’s counsel.
