The Letter

Subject Our legislature needs to take the Ammons investigation seriously

I care about having a legislature I can trust. When an elected official faces 10 federal felony charges — including wire fraud — and is still casting votes in Springfield, that's not a partisan issue. That's a question of whether the institution itself is working the way it's supposed to. The Illinois House Special Investigating Committee held its first hearing today, and I think that matters. But a first hearing isn't enough.

Public trust in state government is already fragile. Every day this drags on without a clear, transparent process, more constituents — on both sides of the aisle — walk away convinced that Springfield protects its own. I'm not asking you to assume guilt. I'm asking you to make sure this committee does its work openly, moves with urgency, and doesn't get quietly buried. Voters deserve to see the process, not just hear about it months later when the news cycle has moved on.

Please use your voice and your vote to ensure the Special Investigating Committee operates with full transparency, holds regular public hearings, and moves this process forward without delay.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY]. I'm calling about the Special Investigating Committee looking into Rep. Carol Ammons.
She's facing 10 federal felony charges including wire fraud — and she's still a sitting member of the House. I think that demands a serious, open process, not a quiet backroom review.
I'm not asking the representative to prejudge the case. I'm asking them to make sure this committee holds real public hearings and doesn't let this fade away without accountability.
This is about whether our legislature takes ethics seriously, and I'll be watching how this plays out. I vote.
