Dear neighbor,
 

Continuing our commitment to making Illinois the best place to live, work and raise a family, my colleagues and I recently passed our eighth consecutive balanced budget. The Fiscal Year 2027 budget prioritizes affordability for working families, funding education, supporting violence prevention programs and reducing food insecurity for those in need. 

As I return home for the summer months, I want to give you an update on important funding in this year’s budget, legislation I worked on the spring and things happening around the 36th District. To read my full statement on the Senate’s passage of the FY 27 spending plan, click here. 

If you need assistance with state services or have feedback about legislation, please reach out to my office by phone at 309-558-3612, by text at 309-297-4483 or check out my website and Facebook.
 

All the best,

Mike Halpin

Dear neighbor,

September is coming to an end, bringing with it the official start of autumn. As the leaves change and the days get cooler, take time to explore seasonal events and activities in our community and throughout the state.

This month is also National Preparedness Month, which is a good reminder to review your family’s plans in case of emergency.

As always, my office is available to help you access state resources, answer questions on legislation and more. Reach out to my Rock Island office at 309-558-3612, Galesburg office at 309-297-4483 or online at SenatorHalpin.com if you have any questions or need assistance.
