From State Rep. Jeff Keicher:
Rep. Keicher re-appointed House Republican Conference Chair
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Representative Jeff Keicher (R-Sycamore) has been re-appointed to serve as House Republican Conference Chairperson for the 104th General Assembly in an announcement made today by House Minority Leader Tony McCombie (R-Savanna).
The Conference Chairperson is responsible for presiding over Republican caucus meetings and facilitating the exchange of ideas on legislative policy proposals and effective strategies for advancing them through the legislative process.
Rep. Keicher was first appointed to this position in January 2023.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving a key role on the House Republican Leadership Team,” Rep. Keicher said.
”The Illinois General Assembly has a lot of work to do over the next two years. We will work to advance long-overdue policy changes to create jobs, strengthen schools, support our agriculture industry and enact meaningful and lasting property tax relief.
“We also need to prioritize keeping our students in Illinois after they graduate high school. Whether they choose to pursue a college education, attend a trade school, or start a career; we must make Illinois a place of opportunity for everyone.
“I believe in Illinois’ future and as Conference Chair I pledge to continue to focus on bringing people together to deliver meaningful results for the families and taxpayers I am privileged to serve.”
“Representative Keicher is a valued voice in our caucus, and I am excited to reappoint him to my team to continue the fight for commonsense policies Illinois families deserve,” said Leader McCombie.
Representative Keicher has represented Illinois’ 70th District since July 2018, which following redistricting now includes portions of DeKalb, Kane, and McHenry Counties.
A graduate of Northern Illinois University with over 25 years of professional experience in the insurance industry, Representative Keicher opened his own State Farm Insurance Agency in Sycamore in 2006, a successful and growing agency in DeKalb County serving the northern Illinois region.
