Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer recently discussed the auction in Jersey County in a Facebook post.

"Always have a great time at the Jersey County 4–H Auction. I love seeing all of the hard work that the kids put in to their animals and projects!" Davidsmeyer said.

Davidsmeyer ran unopposed in the June 28 Republican Primary for the 100th District, the Journal Star reported.

He also spoke out on Gov. J.B. Pritzker's intention to call a special session to protect abortion rights, according to the West Central Reporter. 

"Gov. Pritzker is calling a special session to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on the issue of abortion, only to score political points. The Democrats have already overlegislated on this issue, including making taxpayers fund elective abortions and taking away a parent's right to know that their minor child is making a life-altering decision," Davidsmeyer said.

In April, he cheered a Democratic colleague for her work on a bill to provide aid to Ukraine, according to West Central Reporter.

"Many of you know that when I stand up and speak on the House floor, most often I am speaking in opposition to a bill. Some may see it more as a slap in the face because I'm very straightforward in how I talk," Davidsmeyer said. "Today I'm here not as a slap in the face but as a pat on the back for the work that you've done on this bill, Rep. LaPointe. It is good to see that when good legislation can be made better, we can pull it from the record, not take an immediate vote and come back with an even better bill. I hope this will be a lesson to this body on how we can better serve our constituents together. I really appreciate your willingness to pull it from a vote in the exec committee and come back with an amendment that would fix the bill and make it stronger for the Ukrainian people. Thank you." 

LaPointe is the chief sponsor of House Bill 1293. She is joined by 30 colleagues – Democrats and Republicans – as co-sponsors in the House.
