Legislative Engagement

Make Your Voice Heard

Your voice matters. Every bill considered in Springfield has the potential to impact our communities, families, schools, and businesses. Whether you're following legislation, submitting a witness slip, or simply learning how the Illinois General Assembly works, there are many ways to participate in the legislative process.

Our office encourages every resident of the 31st District to become an informed and engaged citizen. The Illinois General Assembly's learn portal provides step-by-step guidance on creating an account, searching for legislation, tracking bills, and submitting witness slips. You can also explore legislation sponsored by State Representative Michael "Mike" Crawford to stay informed about the work being done on behalf of our district.
