Sen. Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) recently hosted a fundraising event at the Du Quoin American Legion.
“We had a great time at my State Fair Affair fundraising event at the Du Quoin American,” Bryant wrote on Facebook. "Thanks to David Friess for State Representative, state Rep. Dave Severin, Paul Jacobs for Illinois State Representative District 118, Kathi Salvi for US Senate, State Rep. and candidate for Illinois Treasurer Tom Demmer, and many more local elected officials and friends and supporters for coming out to show your support!"
Bryant recently came out against a state plan to expand Title X funding for family planning and reproductive health service providers through the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
“More of your hard-earned money [is] being spent to provide abortions for anyone that wants one,” Bryant said recently in a Facebook post. “Remember [that] in Illinois, all pregnant woman [sic] – regardless of income – qualify for Medicaid. That means 100% taxpayer-funded abortion."
Over the summer, Bryant has held a variety of events to help senior citizens get the healthcare they need throughout this year.
In the June 28, primary election, Bryant ran unopposed. She will also be running unopposed in November's general election.
