Deputy House Republican Leader Norine Hammond was among the Illinois House Republicans who received the Americans for Prosperity-Illinois (AFP-IL) 2025 Prairie State Policy Champions, for her role in advocating for reduced government spending, easing Illinois’ state tax burden, protecting homeschoolers and empowering educational choice in the Land of Lincoln.
AFP-IL State Director Jason Heffley issued the following statement on Hammond's effectiveness:
“Illinois needs more principled leaders like Rep. Hammond in Springfield fighting for Illinois taxpayers and reining in out-of-control government spending," said Heffley. "Rep. Hammond has consistently prioritized fiscal responsibility over special interests, while also leading on AFP-supported legislation in the Capitol. Rep. Hammond is a conservative, commonsense leader and AFP-Illinois will help educate constituents on her dedication and service to the Land of Lincoln."
Deputy Leader Hammond Humbled to be Chosen:
"I'm honored to be recognized for my commitment to a better Illinois," said Hammond. "I fight every day for Illinois families who are being crushed by Illinois' high taxes and reckless spending. There's more work to do, and I'll continue to be a steady voice of reason in Springfield."
Lawmakers were chosen for their leadership on an AFP-priority issue, for collaborating with AFP and hosting joint events, and for maintaining a principled stance throughout the legislative session. Additionally, AFP-IL will be hosting events in Hammond's district, thanking her for her leadership on issues important to Illinois.
