Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka has died.

A spokesman said she died this morning from complications linked to a stroke. He said Topinka was taken to MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn Tuesday morning after she experienced some discomfort.

The Republican lawmaker won a second term last month in a tough race against Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon.

Topinka was 70.
