"It's a great privilege to represent our local communities in the House, and it's also a great responsibility. We're facing fiscal and economic challenges that are serious, but not insurmountable. I'm looking forward to working with the new Rauner administration and my new colleagues in the General Assembly to restore some common sense to our budget process, help create jobs and build strong communities. This can truly be a new beginning for Illinois," Phillips said.

Phillips and his wife Martha reside in Charleston where they own and operate a residential and commercial building business that employs approximately 400 local residents.
