IL Freedom Caucus: Senator Andrew Chesney Joins Illinois Freedom Caucus (Springfield, IL) – Illinois’ most conservative Senator, Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport), today announced his decision to join the Illinois Freedom Caucus, making him the first Senator to join and launching the Caucus into the Senate.
“I’m here to defend American values, stand up for hard-working families, and fight back against the radical left policies we see in Springfield,” said Senator Chesney. “My record speaks for itself—I’ve never voted for a tax or fee hike in my life. I’m proud of that. By bringing the Freedom Caucus into the Senate, I’ll have allies standing with me as I keep fighting for conservative values.”
In joining the Freedom Caucus, Chesney is doubling down on his conservative leadership and commitment to fiscal responsibility, limited government, and protecting the rights of Illinoisans. Senator Chesney has earned a reputation as a no-nonsense, rock-solid conservative who isn’t afraid to call out the leftist policy agenda—or Republicans who vote against their principles.
“I had the pleasure of serving with Andrew Chesney in the House, where he showed he was a true, courageous conservative leader,” said State Rep. Chris Miller, Chairman of the Illinois Freedom Caucus. “He’s exactly the conservative leader we need bringing the Freedom Caucus into the Senate. In fact, he is the only Senator in Illinois with a track record of true conservatism. Working families and taxpayers can count on Andrew Chesney, and they can keep counting on the Illinois Freedom Caucus to fight for them.“
With this announcement, Senator Chesney and the Illinois Freedom Caucus are strengthening a new era of conservative leadership—one that defends Republican core values, refuses to bow to pressure, and will put Illinois families first. This is what the people want.
