Cornelius Francis "Neil" Hartigan (born May 4, 1938)[1] is an American politician, lawyer, and judge who served as the 38th Attorney General of Illinois and the 40th Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. He is a member of the Democratic Party.
A protégé of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, Hartigan started his political career working in the mayor's office and in local government. He was elected lieutenant governor alongside Dan Walker in the 1972 gubernatorial election. Although he won renomination for a second term, Hartigan and Secretary of State Micheal Howlett lost the 1976 general election. Hartigan was later elected attorney general in 1982. He went on to be reelected in 1986.
Hartigan was also the Democratic nominee for Governor of Illinois in 1990, but he lost the close race to Republican Jim Edgar. In 2002, Hartigan became a justice of the Illinois Appellate Court. He retired in 2004.
