Illinois State Representative Brad Halbrook is urging Governor J.B. Pritzker to allow Illinois families to benefit from new federal education scholarships. Halbrook has introduced HR 427, known as The Educational Choice Act, which he says would expand educational opportunities for students in the state.

Halbrook called on the public to take action. "Let’s expand opportunity, not let it slip away. Call the Speaker’s office at (217) 782-5350 and urge the adoption of my resolution, HR 427: The Educational Choice Act."

Halbrook was elected as a Republican to the Illinois State House in 2023, representing the 107th House District. He succeeded Blaine Wilhour in this position.

The resolution aims to increase educational options for families by opting into a federal scholarship program, pending approval from state leadership.
