Terri Bryant, a Republican elected to the Illinois State Senate in 2021 to represent the 58th Senate District, has recently shared her views and activities through several posts on social media.

On August 16, 2025, Bryant criticized recent legislation, stating: "Senate Bill 328 helps trial lawyers and hurts everyone else. This law is a direct threat to jobs, economic growth, and the families who depend on both. Republicans are fighting back in court, but Illinois families will be paying the price for Pritzker’s decision."

Two days later, on August 17, she highlighted events at a political gathering: "Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, featured Texas GOP Leader Abraham George, Fox News Regular and Chicago native Giano Caldwell, as well as some of our own home grown celebrities."

In another post dated August 19 about a local event she attended over the weekend, Bryant wrote: "Hot day, but great fun last Saturday at the West Salem Homecoming & Chowder Parade."

Bryant assumed office in the Illinois State Senate after being elected in 2021 and succeeded Paul Schimpf as representative of the state's 58th Senate District.
