Illinois State Representative, Brad Halbrook serves the 102nd district and started his political journey in 2012. As 2023 comes to a close, Halbrook took time to speak on legislation and topics that loomed large this year.

Halbrook begins with the efforts he and his team went to in order to hear as many constituents as possible, setting up town hall meetings in many local cities.

Halbrook explains the upcoming Spring Legislative Session.

One piece of legislation that has been a topic of conversation is the Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, signed by JB Pritzker, and met with push-back by representatives like Halbrook.

Halbrook calls the recent ban a “countdown to confiscation,” saying that the ban is stripping Second Amendment rights away from Illinois citizens.
