State Representative Adam Niemerg of Dieterich has introduced legislation to honor the late Charlie Kirk, an Illinois native who was killed earlier this month. House Bill 4132 would designate October 14 as “Charlie Kirk Day” across Illinois, recognizing his work in promoting free speech and civic engagement. Niemerg said the designation would ensure Kirk’s influence and legacy continue to be remembered in the state where he began his career. The measure has been filed in the Illinois House and is awaiting committee assignment.
