Senator Sue Rezin toured Marseilles and Seneca before hundreds of Illinoisans vote in the upcoming November general election.

“Thanks to all who stopped to discuss state and local issues..and enjoy a cup of coffee," she wrote on Facebook.

Ballotpedia wrote that Rezin, a Republican, took to office in 2010. Although she initially represented the state’s House of Representatives 75th District, she replaced Senator Gary Dahl.

Rezin's "Small Town Tour" started in Yorkville on Sept. 26 and wrapped in Seneca on Friday.

The Marijuana Moment reported a senate committee is debating a bill that would protect job applicants from discrimination based on testing positive for marijuana use from a drug test. Rezin said to Marijuana Moment businesses are struggling to find applicants 

“I often hear too, in our area, from employers, [that] it’s hard to get good people to work for us because they’ve got marijuana in their system,” she said to Marijuana Moment. “I just want to make sure there’s a process in place…that everybody agrees to and understands.”

In August, she spoke out about the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) approving a rule that changes the review process of the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card system.

“Today’s rule change makes it clear to everyone that the Pritzker administration accepts the fact that it had the authority and ability to enforce and strengthen our state’s existing laws and rules, which the governor himself promised to do over three years ago," Rezin said. “We all recognize the vital importance of keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals, and it is infuriating to learn that our state had the ability to prevent the Highland Park shooter from obtaining a FOID card if it wasn’t for the Administration tying its hands with its own rules," Rezin said. "It took a horrific act of senseless violence for the governor’s administration to acknowledge this reality and keep the promise he made to the people of Illinois.”

Shaw Local reported Rezin worked with Democrat Representative Lance Yednock to create legislation based on education. Specifically, she wants to keep Illinois high school students say in the state instead of heading to an out-of-state institution.

“We have to make sure that those colleges quit poaching our best and brightest from our schools because that’s what’s happening,” Rezin said to Shaw Local. “They are coming to our schools and they’re offering free tuition for, you know, the top 20% of the class. So that’s one thing.”

In September, she told her constituents about a pair of lawsuits attempting to take down the SAFE-T Act. "In case you missed it, the State’s Attorneys from Will and Kankakee Counties filed separate lawsuits challenging the legality of the SAFE-T Act on Friday," Rezin posted.
