Welcome! Thank you for visiting my legislative website. It is an honor to represent the new 35th State Senate District, which includes all or part of Boone, DeKalb, Kane, McHenry, and Winnebago counties.

I encourage you to check my website regularly for information on how I am working for you to better our state.
