Senator Jil Tracy was elected to represent the 50th District in the Illinois Senate in November 2022. She had previously served as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 2006 to 2014. On Jan. 11, Senator Tracy was appointed to the leadership post of Senate Republican Whip. In that role, she will work closely with the rest of the Leadership team on guiding legislation and setting policy. During the 103rd General Assembly, Senator Tracy will serve as Spokesperson for the powerful Judiciary Committee, and is a member of the Labor, Executive, Higher Education, Appropriations (Education), and Veterans Affairs committees. While serving in the House, Tracy was one of the 21 House members to sit on the Rod Blagojevich impeachment committee and also one of six members to sit on the joint Senate and House Legislative Ethics Committee. In her early career, Senator Tracy worked in private law and served as Mt. Sterling City Attorney. Later, Tracy served as an Assistant Illinois Attorney General under Attorney Generals Jim Ryan and Lisa Madigan, where she was Director of the West Central Regional Office for 19 counties. In addition to her legal work and public service, she was a founding Board Member of the Brown County United Way and served for more than 13 years on the Mt. Sterling Park District Board. Senator Tracy and her husband, Jim, live in Quincy and have four grown children and nine grandchildren.

The Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability will hold hearings on the proposed closures of the Greene County Work Camp (Oct. 22 in White Hall at 1PM) and Clayton Work Camp (Oct. 22 in Camp Point at 6PM).

CGFA has also indicated that a final hearing will be held in Springfield during the first week of the fall Veto Session.

I have been critical of the Pritzker Administration’s ongoing trend of closing, downsizing or relocating state facilities away from communities in downstate Illinois. They argue that the impact extends beyond the facilities themselves, affecting state employees, their families, local economies and communities that have relied on those operations for decades.

It's See Tracks? Think Train! Week! Remember to always exercise caution and be alert when approaching train tracks.

This year’s week of recognition also comes as a new Illinois law puts a greater focus on rail safety. House Bill 3743, signed into law in July, requires K-12 student handbooks to include basic railroad safety information, including the importance of using designated crossings, obeying warning signs and signals, staying off tracks and watching for a second train.

I also want to send my very best wishes to Michaelene, who worked her final Senate event with us today. She has been such a wonderful part of our team, and we are going to miss her dearly.
