Friess Frame

By David Friess, Illinois State Representive, 115th District

 

As we move through the 2026 Spring Legislative Session, my focus remains on standing up for the people of Southern Illinois and advancing common-sense policies that reflect our shared values. This is one of the busiest times of the year in Springfield, and I truly appreciate the calls, emails, and conversations I’ve had with so many of you. Your input plays an important role in shaping the work I do on your behalf.

 

In this edition of Friess Frame, we’ll cover the latest from Springfield, newly filed legislation, and recent visits to local schools. I’ll also share my reaction to Governor Pritzker’s Budget Address, share my upcoming community events, and other district highlights. 

 

I appreciate each and every one of you who have stayed engaged throughout the legislative process. As always, it’s an honor to serve the 115th in Springfield!
