"I am beyond excited to welcome Jim Nowlan to my district staff," Stoller said in the post. "Jim has a long and distinguished history in government and public service, which will be a crucial asset as our office continues its efforts to provide the people of the 37th Senate District with exemplary constituent services."

In the Facebook post, Stoller shared a link from the Geneseo Republic about the addition of Nowlan to his team. 

Nowlan has spent nearly five decades in various public service roles, including as an Illinois legislator, state agency director, senior aide to three separate Illinois governors, professor, and newspaper publisher and columnist; the Reporter said.

Nowlan has also spent time at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) as a professor, a biography from UIC said.
