From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger P. McAuliffe (July 6, 1938 – July 5, 1996), was a Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives. He served from 1973 until his death in 1996 - a total of 12 consequent terms in the Illinois General Assembly, and was also elected eight times as Republican Ward Committeeman of Chicago's 38th Ward. A member of Chicago's 38th Ward Regular Republican Organization since the late 1950s, he was an Army Veteran who lost the Ward's aldermanic election in 1963. A long-time top Chicago Republican Precinct Captain, McAuliffe succeeded William J. Murray, as 38th Ward Republican Ward Committeeman, in a special organization election (voted on by the 38th Ward's 73 Republican Precinct Captains), following Murray's death in December, 1968. In November, 1972, Roger Philip McAuliffe was elected State Representative for Illinois's 16th Legislative District; he was re-elected to twelve successive two-year terms, prior to his drowning (while fishing in northern Wisconsin) the day before he would have celebrated his 58th birthday.

His son, Michael P. McAuliffe is a member of the Illinois House of Representatives.
