CENTRAL ILLINOIS (WMBD) — After losing a Senate seat in 2022, Republican Desi Anderson is running against incumbent Sharon Chung (D) to represent the 91st District in the Illinois House of Representatives.
State Representative Chung said two years is not enough to get everything on her agenda done.
She said she’s proud of the work she’s done thus far concerning the state’s fiscal health.
“We’ve had nine straight credit upgrades, we’ve put money into our rainy day fund, we are paying back our bills on time,” said Chung. “That’s something I’m really proud of that we’ve been able to come out of that.”
Protect, preserve and promote are Anderson’s priorities. Support for first responders, veterans, union workers, tradesmen and small businesses are just some of the items falling under her three priorities.
“That’s all coming from just being a mom, small business owner and being involved with my community,” said Anderson. “For me it’s just always important that we continue to protect our small businesses and making sure we have an advocate for them. You see a lot of the unfunded mandates coming out of Springfield and it becomes burdensome.”
