Senate Votes

1. Election Integrity

Would make elections in Illinois susceptible to corruption and problems. This would include vote by mail ballots with insufficient postage.
Read More Constitutional Vote: No
HB3994 Roll Call 985172 Passed 40 to 18 on Jan 12, 2020 See Article I Section 4 14th Amendment Article II

2. Labor Unions

Would make it harder for employers to run their businesses in the state of Illinois and give more power to corrupt unions. This would also allow unions to coerce workers who may not want to be in a union to have to join, which cedes authority and privacy.
Read More Constitutional Vote: No
SB1784 Roll Call 896313 Passed 45 to 9 on Nov 13, 2019 See First Amendment 14th Amendment Declaration of Independence

3. Sanctuary State

Disallows Law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This makes residents of Illinois less safe.

4. LGBTQ children

Would have the Department of Children and Family Services do a performance audit on how affirmed LGBTQ children are. This resolution also supports children being removed from foster homes if they are not affirmed in their believed gender by parents.
