Rep. Jackie Haas (R-Kankanee) has recently been named to the Republican caucus leadership team.
"It’s an honor to be named to the leadership team and I am as motivated as ever to work alongside my fellow leaders in our Republican caucus to get to work," Haas posted on Facebook.
According to a press release on her appointment, "Haas brings over 30 years of experience as a social worker, a strong tenure backing legislation to address compelling issues on public health, safety, and fiscal reform, and motivation to find viable solutions to ongoing challenges across Illinois."
Starting her second term representing the 79th District in Springfield, Haas will be working alongside the first female Republican leader, Rep. Tony McCombie (R-Sterling), who was formally elected at the inauguration of the 103rd General Assembly earlier this month.
Haas said there is much work to do.
"There is no shortage of issues we need to address to keep moving our state forward, and I am well-equipped to start having those productive conversations that will get us started," Haas said.
