VETO SESSION
I had the pleasure of hosting a Home Schoolers Group from District 105 during Veto Session earlier this week. Thank you for coming down to your Capitol and visiting with me. It was great to meet and talk to all of you!
The first week of Veto Session has come and gone without any movement from the majority party on the issues important to Illinoisans. We have three scheduled days next week, so let’s buckle down and get to work for the people we represent.
FIREARMS
A federal district court ruled last week that Democrats’ firearms ban violates the Constitution. Here’s the latest in the case.

HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS
During Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (November 17-23), we raise awareness for those who face the struggles of homelessness and hunger every day. Together, we can make a difference. Whether it’s through donating, volunteering, or advocating for change, every effort helps create a world where no one has to go hungry or without a home.
