In Springfield, Illinois, State Representative David Friess (R-Redbud) has voiced strong opposition to SB 2412, a piece of legislation filed by House Democrats that proposes significant changes to elections law in the state, impacting the 2024 ballot and elections.
"This legislation represents a new level of political manipulation and power-grabbing by House Democrats," expressed Rep. Friess. "It is a clear demonstration of their willingness to put self-interest above the democratic process and the best interest of Illinois voters. As Illinoisians continue to grapple with high taxes, corruption, and other pressing issues, SB 2412 serves as another example of the Democrats' attempts to maintain their hold on power through unethical means."
Rep. Friess further emphasized, "The people I serve deserve a fair, transparent, and legitimate legislative process." He proudly represents the 115th District in Illinois.
The proposed SB 2412 would bring fundamental changes to the rules for running for legislative office, how parties appoint candidates to the ballot, and adds three non-binding referendum questions to the November 2024 ballot.
The concerns raised by Rep. Friess shed light on the ongoing debate surrounding the transparency and fairness of the legislative process, especially concerning significant changes to election laws.
