Let area’s new representatives work together
The Sauk Valley’s core cities have been in the same House district for 20 years, but that is about to change. We call on newly elected lawmakers in the 71st and 90th House districts to work together for the good of the region.
When newly elected members of the Illinois House of Representatives take their seats in early January, the Sauk Valley will face two significant changes.
First, retiring state Rep. Jerry Mitchell, R-Sterling, will no longer represent the region’s core cities of Rock Falls, Sterling and Dixon, as he has for the past 18 years.
And second, the region’s core cities will not be included in the same House district for the first time in 20 years.
