Resign, replace, and disempower voters. Keep repeating.
In 2016, it was Republican Sen. Matt Murphy, whose abrupt departure opened the door to Rolling Meadows Mayor Tom Rooney, and Democratic Rep. Dan Kotowski, whose seat was promptly filled by Des Plaines Ald. Laura Murphy. Also in 2016, Republican John Anthony left to take a state job, from which he was later fired; he was replaced in the House by Rep.
