Jerry Stermer has been director of the governor’s budget office since 2012. He was the Chicago Democrat’s chief of staff during Quinn’s first term and the longtime director of advocacy group Voices for Illinois Children.
Incoming Gov. Bruce Rauner had called on Quinn to name Topinka’s longtime chief of staff as her replacement.
Stermer will serve until Rauner takes office on Jan. 12, when the new governor will announce a full four-year replacement.
There have been conflicting ideas about how to fill Topinka’s terms.
Quinn has called lawmakers back to Springfield to consider a 2016 special election so voters could have a say in the process.
