As part of their biennial Champion of Free
Enterprise awards, Illinois State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason)
was chosen by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce as the
Outstanding Freshman of the Year.
The award is given to one freshman legislator in both chambers
of the General Assembly who have made special contributions to
the defense of free enterprise, and the furtherance of economic
opportunities for Illinoisans.
“I am humbled to be named the Illinois Chamber of Commerce’s
‘Freshman of the Year’ for my commitment to supporting policies
that strengthen our economy and create jobs,” said Sen. Turner.
“When I took office, I felt it was more critical than ever for
our state to help its struggling small business community
through the promotion of legislation that would produce
stability and provide opportunities for growth. It is an honor
to be recognized for these efforts on behalf of the residents of
the 44th Senate District.”
The Illinois Chamber rated all members of the 102nd General
Assembly based on legislators' votes on key business legislation
as determined by staff and the Illinois Chamber's Government
Affairs Committee.
“We are proud to name Senator Sally Turner the 102nd General
Assembly’s Outstanding Freshman of the Year for the Illinois Senate,” said
Illinois Chamber President and CEO Todd Maisch. “Senator Turner has
distinguished herself as a leader and rising star in her caucus with a keen
awareness of the economic needs of Central Illinois. We look forward to seeing
what she accomplishes in the years ahead.”
