]]> In the hours that followed Governor Pritzker’s signing of the assault weapon ban legislation, sheriffs from Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, JoDaviess, Ogle, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties all announced they would not enforce the new law. Upon learning that all sheriffs from the 45th Senate District will not be enforcing the assault weapons ban in their jurisdictions, State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) issued the following statement:

“I stand with the sheriffs that represent the law-abiding citizens in Northwest Illinois and am pleased they are drawing a line and refusing to enforce this blatant infringement on our shared constituencies’ Second Amendment rights. They recognize, as I do, that this new law is unconstitutional. The Legislature must stop going after lawful citizens. We need to lock up law breakers, and stop chipping away at the personal freedoms that were granted by our forefathers to lawful citizens.”

]]> Newly elected State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) was sworn into office on Wednesday as the new representative voice of Illinois’ 45th Senate District in Northwest Illinois. Sen. Chesney took his oath of office at a noon ceremony held at the Old Illinois State Capitol in Springfield with his wife Kelly and other close family members looking on.

“It is a privilege to join the Senate Republican caucus, where I can represent the conservative values of those living in Northwestern Illinois,” said Sen. Chesney. “I will be a vocal supporter of issues that are important to the hardworking people of the 45th District, and I will fight hard against legislation that threatens people’s personal freedoms and constitutional rights.”

The Senator’s agenda for the 103rd General Assembly also includes a commitment to address political corruption, to fight for meaningful property tax relief, and to fiercely defend the men and women of law enforcement.

Sen. Chesney joins the Senate Republican Caucus after serving for the last four years in the Illinois House of Representatives, and looks forward to bringing his no-nonsense approach to lawmaking to the upper chamber. He is one of 19 Republicans who will serve in the Senate during the 103rd General Assembly.

“It is an honor to be elected to this position, and I plan to be a tireless advocate for my constituents,” he said. “I’m ready to get to work.”

The 45th Senate District is comprised of all or parts of JoDaviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, and Ogle Counties.
