In a recent Facebook post, Rep. Patrick Windhorst expressed his gratitude for the trust the people of Southern Illinois have placed in him to represent their values in Springfield. Windhorst, who was first elected to represent the 118th District in 2018 and now represents the 117th District, has been a staunch advocate for conservative values throughout his political career.

Throughout his tenure, Windhorst has fought against the supermajority Democrats in Springfield as they sought to implement policies such as banning firearms, ending cash bail, and expanding taxpayer-funded abortion services. He takes pride in his strong and consistent record on conservative values and vows to continue standing up for his constituents' beliefs.

Windhorst's commitment to his constituents is evident in the various committees and subcommittees he serves on, including the Criminal Administration and Enforcement Subcommittee, Ethics and Elections, Family Law & Probate Subcommittee, Firearms and Firearm Safety Subcommittee, Higher Education, Human Services, and Human Services Appropriations. These roles allow him to actively participate in shaping legislation and ensuring that the values of the people he represents are heard.

As he seeks re-election, Windhorst highlights several key issues that he is focused on. These include lower taxes and less government spending, job creation, public safety, term limits, and conservative values. He aims to improve public safety by supporting law enforcement and enacting laws that prioritize the well-being of the community. Additionally, he believes that cutting burdensome regulations, reforming worker's compensation, and implementing a comprehensive economic development strategy are essential for improving Illinois' economy.

Windhorst's dedication to representing the values of Southern Illinois is evident in his track record and campaign promises. With his strong conservative stance and commitment to his constituents, he aims to continue serving the people of Southern Illinois in Springfield.
