Hi John — it's Sen. Peters, and as we get closer to the end of 2024, I wanted to say again how grateful I am to get to represent our community in Springfield for another term.
And before I ask for your input on the issues my team and I should focus on in 2025, I want to take a moment to talk through some of the highlights of this year:
1️⃣ In May, Illinois wrapped up a successful legislative session, where I worked hard to secure crucial funding for projects across the district, and advocated for legislation that would enhance access to healthcare services and protect consumers across the state.
2️⃣ In June, we riled up one of X's biggest right-wing personalities through my work to continue to change how our justice system views the people who go through it every day for the better.
3️⃣ And more recently, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of Illinois becoming the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail! It was a blast to celebrate such a monumental piece of legislation and to celebrate the positive impact it's had on our communities.
John, there's quite a few things to be proud of this year, but it is in no way a sign for us to kick up our feet and relax as we move toward the future.
As we prepare for the threat MAGA extremism will continue to pose, I want to emphasize that I'll never stop fighting for the issues that matter most to our people.
But if Illinois is going to remain a role model for change in our nation, it's going to take deliberate collaboration on every level: from folks on the ground to those in elected office.
Today though, I'd like to hear more about your concerns going into the new year. My team and I created this survey — will you take a minute to answer our questions and share your thoughts?
