“It is a distinct honor and privilege to serve the people of Southern Illinois in Springfield as state representative,” Windhorst said, according to the news release. “I have been a strong and steady advocate for Southern Illinois values, opposing expanded taxpayer abortions, opposing restrictive gun control measures and voting against every tax increase brought before the General Assembly. I have worked diligently to meet my constituents and other local elected officials where they are, to attend their events, to hear their concerns, and to represent their best interests in Springfield. I pledge to continue that work as the 117th District state representative.”
