Andrew Chesney
State Senator, District 45 · Republican · IL-SD-45
Bills sponsored (46)
3 as primary sponsor, 43 as cosponsor.
Voting record (245 divided)
Floor votes from the 104th General Assembly onwards (January 2025) for state legislators, and the current Congress for the federal delegation. Anything earlier is outside what Prairie Record holds.
Roll calls where at least 10% of the members voting were on the losing side. A unanimous vote says little about how someone votes; these are the ones that do.
