Welcome

Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my legislative website. It is my honor to serve the citizens of the 14th Senate District in the Illinois General Assembly. On this website you can learn about me, my initiatives, and legislation that is being pushed forth in the General Assembly.

Right now, my top priorities are bringing more jobs to the 14th district, finding a responsible solution to budget, and putting an end to business as usual in Springfield.  

I always welcome feedback from my constituents, so if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me. I also hold periodic town-hall meetings, roundtables, and satellite office hours. Check the Constituent Services section of my website to learn about upcoming events.

Sincerely,
Senator Emil Jones III
