Republican Senator Jil Tracy attended a luncheon as thousands of Illinoisans prepare to vote in the Nov. 8 general election.

“It was nice to see so many faces and talk about several key legislative issues impacting our state’s residents,” Tracy wrote on Facebook.

Vote Smart noted Tracy has been active in voting against any safe abortion efforts while FOX 32 Chicago reported a poll by Ogden & Fry found that 22% of research participants supported abortions and 14% were anti-abortion.

Tracy recently shared information about Breast Cancer Awareness Month.' “October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer,” Tracy wrote on Facebook. In her Facebook post, Tracy shared a link to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which offers a variety of programs and support for individuals facing a breast cancer diagnosis.

The organization's programs include a patient navigation program, a national mammography program, Hope Kits, retreats for individuals with metastatic breast cancer, support groups, as well as education and research.

Vote Smart noted Tracy voted against House Bill 1167 which gives vaccinated teachers paid sick leave if they catch COVID-19.

“With this COVID wage and benefit protection legislation, we’re putting real action behind our words and making a difference for the teachers and staff that make a difference every day for our students and community," Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, who sponsored the legislation, said to the State Journal-Register.

In October, she visited middle school students and talked about her role in the Senate.

Vote Smart also noted she voted against Senate Bill 18 which requires the state to have transitioned its energy production to be made by renewable energies by 2050.

She also took aim at Gov. J.B. Pritzker for the payment made in regard to the state's unemployment trust fund debt.

“Gov. Pritzker is touting a sweep of the Illinois unemployment trust fund paid for by businesses,” she wrote on Facebook.
