Friends of Carol Ammons Details
Carol Ammons has a proven record of success as an elected representative. Serving on the County Board, the Urbana City Council, and now as a state Representative, Carol has led numerous initiatives for change. Representative Ammons is a passionate defender of the Environment and has a 100% rating from the Illinois Environment Council. Making sure we care for our environment is also critical to keeping our community healthy. Ammons is working towards creating a sustainable energy policy and protecting our water sources. Mass incarceration is at a crisis point in our country. Representative Ammons believes when a person has been incarcerated, the connections to their family and support system are some of the greatest tools to recovery. In Illinois, prison phone calls are among the highest in the nation and include a commission for the state. Ammons sponsored legislation to cap the amount a person can be charged for a prison phone call, preventing the state from taking advantage of some of the poorest residents. Ammons knows that stopping the flow of illegal firearms is essential to preventing violence in our communities. That's why she supported bipartisan legislation to crack down on criminals who illegally smuggle weapons into Illinois. Ammons believes that while our state is growing more diverse, many communities have been historically under-represented at the polls. Because she knows the best way to make effective change in our government is to vote, she sponsored a measure that would modernize voter registration which will close the gap of more than 2 million unregistered voters and increase participation in the civic process. The people of CU deserves representation that supports our safety net programs, addresses institutionalized oppression, and gives a voice and power to our most marginalized community members. We have said from the beginning - we're not running a campaign, we're building a movement. Support our political revolution!
