“To protect residents and working families, military operations in Illinois must be sound,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “Improving the business climate, ensuring bases are fully equipped and offering assistance to service members and their families will create a strong military presence throughout the state.”

Members also explore ways to encourage defense-related businesses to expand or relocate, identify trends and support long-term viability within the state.

“I look forward to my responsibilities as a member of the Military Economic Development Committee,” Johnson said.

The committee makes recommendations to enhance Illinois’ military presence to the governor, General Assembly, congressional delegation, and other government officials.
