State Senator Dale Fowler | Illinois State Senator
State Senator Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg) released a strong statement regarding Senate Bill 2412, which recently passed out of the Senate. Fowler expressed his concerns about the bill's impact on the democratic process in Illinois, stating, “Senate Bill 2412 is a direct blow to the democratic process of our state and I refused to vote for legislation that is so clearly undemocratic."
Fowler criticized the proposal to change election rules mid-cycle, arguing that it undermines the hard work of local candidates and threatens the voice of Illinois voters. He emphasized that the bill is not merely about updating processes but is a deliberate attempt to manipulate the electoral playing field in favor of selected candidates.
The Senator highlighted the importance of maintaining a free and fair election process, stating, "We cannot stand for such blatant power plays; we must instead stand to ensure our election process remains free and fair for all Illinoisans." Fowler's statement underscores the significance of upholding the integrity of the electoral system and safeguarding the rights of voters in the state.
