A Peoria City Councilman will officially take on a new role tomorrow.
Chuck Weaver is set to be sworn-in as State Senator in the 37th District, which encompasses parts of Knox County.
According to a press release, Weaver will take the oath of office at the Peoria County Courthouse alongside his wife, children and grandchildren.
The Peoria-area businessman was announced as the replacement for incoming Congressman Darin LaHood on Sunday night.
LaHood won a special election to take the seat vacated by Aaron Schock, who resigned earlier this year amid a spending scandal.
Weaver was selected out of a group of 10 candidates. He is a graduate of Dunlap High School, Bradley University, and DePaul School of Law.
Tomorrow’s ceremony is scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
