 Key among these assignments, Representative Butler has secured
positions on the House Public Safety Appropriations Committee which
has oversight of the Illinois National Guard and Illinois State
Police; the Tourism, Hospitality and Craft Industries Committee
which will have input on the important tourism industry as well as
the burgeoning craft industry movement in Illinois; and the Museums,
Arts and Cultural Enhancements Committee.
“Tourism and history are major drivers of the economy in our area of
the State," Butler said. "From the Lincoln sites and museum to the
Route 66 attractions our history is not only an important part of
the fabric of our communities it is a vital engine for our local
economy. Additionally, the National Guard not only makes ours a
secure State, but having the home of the Guard in Springfield is a
great contributor to our economic well-being. Securing a spot on
these committees ensures our area has a seat at the table throughout
the process and allows us the ability to advocate for issues of
importance to our Central Illinois communities.”
