Luis Arroyo (born June 13, 1954) is a former Democratic member of the Illinois House of Representatives, representing the 3rd District from his appointment in 2006 until his resignation in 2019.

Early life and education

Arroyo was born in Corozal, Puerto Rico, moving to Chicago at age 13. He attended Pulaski Elementary School and Tuley High School (now Clemente High School) in Chicago. Before being appointed to the state legislature, Arroyo owned a restaurant and was a member of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers.[1]

Career

In late October 2019, the US Attorney's Office charged Arroyo with one count of federal program bribery, alleging that Arroyo offered "a bribe to a fellow state lawmaker in an effort to influence and reward the lawmaker for supporting legislation that would benefit Arroyo’s private lobbying client".[2] Arroyo announced his resignation November 1 (effective at the end of the day), shortly before a legislative committee was scheduled to meet to consider ejecting him from the state house.[3] A successor was not immediately appointed.[3]

His son, Luis Arroyo Jr., is a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
