I<U+2019>m on the road to Springfield for the last time to serve in the House of Representatives. For the past ten years, it has truly been an honor and privilege to represent the people of Lee, Ogle, DeKalb, and LaSalle Counties at the Capitol. Thank you! God bless Illinois, our home! https://t.co/TWxbPWRGo0
Very happy to have these little assistants on the House floor with me today! This is the first time they<U+2019>ve gotten to come visit dad at the Capitol, and I couldn<U+2019>t be happier to show them this beautiful place I<U+2018>m honored to serve in. https://t.co/I6SaOoaH3o

Greg is a tremendous legislator and a great public servant. Working with him on budget and Medicaid issues has been a true highlight of my time in the House. All of his colleagues, and the House as an institution, will miss his leadership. https://t.co/cs17q2AjRb
As Illinois Democrats start to introduce new Congressional, Supreme Court, State House and State Senate maps this week one thing will be clear: they value partisan advantage above all else. https://t.co/vAk5zMteVU
Today, Illinois voters spoke and elected me to be the Republican nominee for State Treasurer and I<U+2019>m proud to earn their support. Illinois needs a fresh start. During Mike Frerichs<U+2019> 15 years in Springfield, he<U+2019>s fallen for just about everything<U+2026>
