Blair-Sherlock Highlights Concern with Reckless White House Decisions, Backs Resolutions Demanding Better Path Forward

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Concerned about the impact of reckless White House decisions on the wellbeing of Illinois families and businesses, state Rep. Diane Blair-Sherlock, D-Villa Park, backed a series of resolutions Wednesday that condemn President Donald Trump’s actions on a number of fronts.

“I’m hearing from many in our community who are rightfully alarmed by what’s coming out of Washington, and how it may hurt families here in Illinois,” Blair-Sherlock said. “It’s critical that we stand up against harmful decisions that ignore the rule of law, target our economic stability and benefit only the privileged few. Let’s choose a better, more human-centered and responsible path forward.”

Blair-Sherlock sponsored and supported a series of resolutions that passed the Illinois House on Wednesday, including:

– House Resolution 115, which calls out Trump’s decision to double down on a broken
immigration system, his reliance on threats and dehumanizing language and his efforts to
circumvent the rule of law and make Illinois communities less safe;
– House Resolution 116, which notes Trump’s unlawful policies make it harder for families to
make ends meet and condemns his attempted funding freeze that would have stripped millions
of Americans of the services they depend on to live and thrive;
– House Resolution 117, which condemns Trump’s efforts to undermine equal pay, make
workplaces less fair and limit opportunity;
– House Resolution 118, which calls out Trump’s inexcusable pardons of Jan. 6 conspirators and
criminals convicted of attacking police, attacking our nation’s capitol and attacking our
democracy; and
– House Resolution 119, which calls upon Trump to abandon his reckless tariff plans that have
caused unnecessary economic instability and would raise costs on Illinois families and
businesses.
