Sen. Terri Bryant expressed gratitude towards everyone who joined the first meeting of the Rotary Club and thanked the owner Ben Sperry for welcoming her.

In a Jul. 13 Facebook post, Bryant announced her visit to the Rotary in Mount Vernon on July 12.

"Thank you for the invitation to join you," Bryant said.

In her post, Bryant shared a post from the Mt. Vernon Rotary Club's meeting: "Today was our Rotary Club's first meeting at Joe's Pizza Mount Vernon. Thank you to owner Ben Sperry and the staff for opening your doors to us. Thank you to Illinois State Senator Terri Bryant for joining us today to update us on what is happening at the state level. She gave us updates on redistricting, energy, property taxes, and cost of living. Please join us next Tuesday as we Imagine Rotary!"

On July 6, Bryant shared her thanks to the individuals who voted for her to be re-elected into the state's new 58th District. "I want to take a moment to thank the thousands of friends and supporters that voted for me to be your next State Senator in last Tuesday's Primary Election! Come January 2023, I will be serving as the new 58th District's State Senator," Bryant wrote in a July 6 Facebook post. "Serving you in Springfield is an honor and privilege that I take very seriously. Thank you again to everyone for your continued support and efforts on my behalf. God Bless You!"

Bryant ran unopposed in the Republican Primary for the new 58th District.
