State Representative Brad Halbrook, serving the 110th District of Illinois, discusses the state and federal budgets, library grants, and his decision to run again for the House. Halbrook has held his office now since 2012 and still strives to see major changes made in Springfield. Although he announced his bid not long ago, he says it feels like the campaign truly never stops. Halbrook says there is still plenty of work needed to prepare before elections come back around.

Halbrook shares his stance on the “Big Beautiful Bill” and it’s potential impact.

Near the end of May, the State of Illinois passed a new budget of their own. Halbrook raises concern over the estimated shortfall predicted to go with it.

Some good news Halbrook is happy to share involves grants being awarded to continue to support library programs. He says some of that money even made it’s way to his district.
