EDWARDSVILLE – State Senators Jason Plummer (R-Edwardsville) and State Senator Erica Harriss (R-Glen Carbon) welcomed a standing-room-only crowd to their End of Session Town Hall on June 16 at the Edwardsville Gun Club, where residents gathered to hear an update on the recently concluded spring legislative session.
"People are frustrated, and they have every right to be," said Senator Jason Plummer. "Families are paying more for electricity, more at the gas pump, and more in property taxes, yet many feel like Springfield isn't listening. That's why these town halls matter. We work for the people of Illinois, and they deserve answers, transparency, and a government that focuses on their priorities instead of political agendas."

"We greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to attend and participate in the conversation," said Senator Harriss. "These town halls are an important way for us to hear directly from the people we represent and provide transparency about the decisions being made in Springfield."
Both Senators would like to thank the Edwardsville Gun Club for hosting the event and expressed their appreciation to Paul and the club staff for their continued hospitality and support.
