State Senator Steve McClure of Springfield has been recognized by Americans for Prosperity–Illinois as a “Prairie State Policy Champion.” The conservative grassroots organization says the award highlights lawmakers who work to limit government overreach, reduce taxes, and support family choice in education, including homeschooling.

McClure said he’s honored by the recognition, adding that since taking office, he’s focused on lowering the state’s tax burden and getting government spending under control.

AFP-Illinois State Director Jason Heffley praised McClure as a “principled leader,” saying the senator has consistently prioritized fiscal responsibility and supported legislation backed by the organization.
McClure received the award at his office inside the Illinois Capitol complex.
