State of Illinois

State Representative Paul Jacobs Monday officially announced his campaign for re-election.

The Pomona republican says he'll continue to fight for the rights of southern Illinoisans if re-elected.

Jacobs has been a Republican member of the Illinois House from the 118th district since January 11, 2023. During the middle of his first term, new legislative district maps were approved by the General Assembly and signed into law in September 2021, moving Jacobs' residence to the 118th district. He previously represented the 115th district during the 102nd General Assembly session, from January 2021 until its adjournment in January 2023.

Jacobs has been adamant about being pro-life, pro 2nd Amendment, pro term limits, and opposed to all tax increases, sanctuary cities and sanctuary state.
