- Roland Wallace Burris (born August 3, 1937) is the junior United States Senator from the state of Illinois and a Democrat. He is the third black U.S. Senator from Illinois, after Carol Moseley Braun and Barack Obama. Burris is currently the only African-American in the U.S. Senate. Under controversial circumstances, Burris was appointed by Democratic Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to replace President-Elect Barack Obama as the junior senator from Illinois. Prior to Burris's appointment, Obama was the U.S. Senate's only African American; he resigned his Senate seat after being elected President of the United States. Blagojevich and Burris are both subjects of ethics probes. In 1978 Burris was the first African American elected to statewide office in Illinois, when he was elected Illinois Comptroller. He served in that office until his election as Illinois Attorney General in 1990. Since then, he has run for office four more times unsuccessfully. Calls for Burris's resignation from the Senate began after allegations were made that he had lied under oath about his contacts with associates of Blagojevich prior to his appointment. The Sangamon County State's Attorney's office and the Senate Ethics Committee are each investigating whether Burris perjured himself in his testimony before an Illinois House of Representatives committee in connection with the Blagojevich impeachment proceedings. On ABC's World News with Charles Gibson on May 27, 2009, a recording was played of Burris's conversation with Rod Blagojevich in which Burris is allegedly heard to be negotiating on the price for receiving Obama's Senate seat. Ethics charges were dropped against Burris, due to a lack of supporting evidence in late June 2009.
- Roland Wallace Burris (nacido el 3 de agosto de 1937) es Senador junior por el estado de Illinois. Él es el único afroamericano del Senado, tras haber jurado el 15 de enero de 2009 luego de haber sido nombrado al escaño el 31 de diciembre de 2008. Burris es miembro del Partido Demócrata y ex oficial estatal en Illinois, tras haber servido como Director del Departamento Central de Servicios de Gestión desde 1973 a 1977, Contralor de Illinois desde 1979 a 1991, y Fiscal General de Illlinois desde 1991 a 1995. Burris inició su carrera como un abogado en 1963, y sirvió como un fiscal contable, asesor fiscal, funcionario de la banca comercial, y como vicepresidente en el sector bancario, así como jefe de un grupo comercial que abarca el gobierno y préstamos bancarios garantizados por los empresarios de minorías. Ronald Burris ha recibido duras criticas por el hecho de que el gobernador Rod Blagojevich, le cediera el que fuese el escaño del actual presidente Barack Obama, teniendo en cuenta que hay una investigación a Blagojevich por querer rifar dicho escaño, con el fin de obtener un cargo de más alta jerarquía que el de Gobernador.

- Roland Wallace Burris er senator for delstaten Illinois. Han var comptroller i delstaten fra 1979 til 1991, og så statsadvokat i delstaten fra 1991 til 1995. Den 30. desember 2008 ble han nominert av delstatens guvernør Rod Blagojevich til det senatssetet som var blitt ledig i og med senator Barack Obamas valg til president. Avgjørelsen var svært kontroversiell fordi Blagojevich ble arrestert på grunn av korrupsjonsanklager; han ønsket å selge senatsetet. Nominasjonen av Burris kom mens Blagojevich var løslatt mot kausjon. Ettersom denne nominasjonen så måtte gjennom en politisk prosess både i Illinois og Washington DC, var det i lys av de da pågående etterforskningene mot Blagojevich usikkert om Burris faktisk ville ende opp i Senatet. 15. januar, tolv dager etter at de andre senatorene ble tatt i ed, ble også Burris til slutt tatt i ed av visepresident Dick Cheney og dermed senator også i gavnet. En meningsmåling gjennomført i mai 2009 sa at bare 17% mente Burris gjorde en god jobb, mens 62% mente han gjorde en dårlig jobb. Det første kvartalet i 2009 hadde han samlet inn 845 dollar til sin gjenvalgskampanje mens han hadde 111 032 dollar i gjeld. 10. juli 2009 gjorde han det klart at han ikke stiller til gjenvalg i 2010.

- Roland Wallace Burris, född 3 augusti 1937 i Centralia, Illinois, är en amerikansk demokratisk politiker. Han representerar Illinois i sedan 15 januari 2009. Burris avlade 1959 sin grundexamen i statsvetenskap vid Southern Illinois University. Han avlade 1963 sin juristexamen vid Howard University. Han var delstatens justitieminister (Illinois Attorney General) 1991-1995. Senator Barack Obama avgick 2008 efter att ha besegrat republikanen John McCain i presidentvalet. Guvernör Rod Blagojevich utnämnde 31 december 2008 Burris till senaten. Delstatens statssekreterare Jesse White registrerade utnämningen men vägrade att underteckna handlingarna och föra dem vidare till senaten på grund av skandalen som Blagojevich var inblandad i. Illinois högsta domstol avgjorde att delstatens statssekreterare inte har rätt att förhindra en utnämning som guvernören har gjort under sin tid i ämbetet. White gav därefter Burris en kopia av handlingarna från delstatens register och senaten accepterade Burris som Obamas efterträdare som senator för Illinois. Fullmäktige i Chicago stödde Burris starkt och många av kommunalpolitikerna i Illinois största stad betonade att han var helt oskyldig med tanke på Blagojevich skandal och hade med sin integritet rentvått hela processen.
