As the Illinois General Assembly prepares to reconvene on January 28, Senator Dale Fowler has urged his fellow legislators to pursue a bipartisan agenda focused on fiscal responsibility, public safety, and aiding struggling families in Illinois.

With the commencement of the 104th General Assembly and President Donald Trump entering his second term, there is an opportunity to move beyond political discord and work towards practical solutions for Illinois. Senator Fowler expressed concern over the Pritzker Administration's confrontational stance toward the federal administration, suggesting it might endanger essential federal funding that has supported Governor Pritzker’s substantial budgets.

Facing a projected $3 billion budget deficit, Senator Fowler emphasized that bipartisan collaboration will be crucial in implementing policies aimed at promoting prosperity for Illinois families, stimulating economic growth, and enhancing public safety.
