State Rep. Dave Severin (R-Benton) recently shared a few photos and a few words following a thank-you event for his supporters.

"Today, I welcomed members of the Severin Century Club to Benton at La Galerie to enjoy a special Sunday Appreciation Lunch Event to give thanks to the bedrock supporters of my campaign. I could literally not do this without the support of so many generous, engaged, and hard-working volunteers and friends," Severin wrote in a Jan. 22 Facebook post. "Nobody does a special event quite like Bryan and Christen Drew. Incredible food, top-notch service, world class presentation, and a lot of style to top it off. Thank you Christen and Bryan. Also thank you to my wife Penny, my son Travis, his wife Melissa, and my 2 grandsons for their love and support. I am looking forward to a successful 2023!"

Severin ran unopposed in the the 2022 general election. 

In 2019, Severin was first elected to represent the 117th District, but redistricting shifted the boundaries. The 116th, his new district, includes portions of Edwards, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Marion, Wabash, Washington, Wayne, and White counties.

Severin was sworn in to represent the 116th district on Jan. 11. 

"As I take over as the State Representative of a new territory, the people that I will serve as 116th district State Representative should know that I have a record of protecting the right to life, opposing radical abortion laws, opposing radical gun control laws, and rejecting laws that have crippled our energy grid and caused our energy bills to spike out of control," Severin said, according to a press release on his website. "I have stood against pay raises for politicians, I refused to take a pension. I strongly opposed Governor Pritzker’s massive progressive income tax hike and fought back against his unconstitutional, dangerous, and harmful COVID-19 Executive Orders and lockdown mandates time and time again." 

Severin was first elected to the Illinois House in 2017 and currently resides in Benton. His legislative experience includes serving on the Judiciary - Criminal, and Mental Health & Addiction committees.
