During a break in floor action I was able to attend the @ILStatePolice 100th anniversary celebration. The ISP started with just 8 officers in 1922, today over 1800 officers work tirelessly to keep our state safe and I'm so grateful for their sacrifices.

Meet the Eastern Milk Snake and the 11-year-old boy who had a vision to designate this reptile as our state snake! #ILGA senatorfowler.com/2022/03/31…

Bipartisan governing is where it's at. Proud to prioritize payments to this crucial development in Southern Illinois that will drive international trade. It's also championed by @GovPritzker, @senatorfowler59 & many others. Read more in Fiscal Focus: medium.com/gdgf/river-port-p…

This is an example of how good bipartisan work can be done to provide incentives for hard-working Illinoisans.
A bill championed by State Senator Dave Koehler and State Senator Dale Fowler to incentivize Illinoisans to purchase vehicles manufactured in-state advanced out of the Senate Wednesday. ilsendems.co/3IkDtrK
