State Representative Jed Davis (R-Yorkville) will co-host a bipartisan town hall with State Representative Barbara Hernandez (D-Aurora) to address prison conditions in Illinois correctional facilities. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, November 5th, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at Waubonsee Community College in Aurora.

Davis explained the motivation behind the event, stating, “Recently, we’ve had multiple constituents walk into my office with personal stories and major concerns about family members currently incarcerated with the Illinois Department of Corrections. This town hall was spurred by those conversations, which showed a clear need for action. I am looking forward to a productive, bipartisan discussion about ways to protect human dignity in our correctional system.”

He also commented on the importance of bipartisanship: “Politics in Springfield are too often divided by partisanship. This event represents a move in the right direction—toward putting good policy ahead of politics. I look forward to working with Representative Hernandez and hope we encourage more bipartisan dialogue moving forward.”

Davis was elected as a Republican to represent Illinois’ 75th House District in 2023, succeeding David Welter.
