His wife, Jen, is a long- standing real estate agent. The City of St. Charles has been very active in our river corridor efforts along the Fox River.

So, I would -- Welcome them to Springfield. It's also my great honor to introduce a gentleman that I have come to know and love in the City of St. Charles.

Don Harmon (D)

Thank you, Mr. President. Yesterday, a group of intrepid Senate golfers endured a torrential drizzle to play in the first 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day 5/13/2025 ever Senate Cup. I see the Republican team assembling behind the trophy, I think you know how this will end. We had three teams of two Democrats versus Republicans. And as, Susie Glowiak Hilton and I watched our match slip away from us to a -- to a Senators Fowler and DeWitte. Cagey veterans both, we came to the conclusion well, Republicans should be better at golf. But our teams played well. Senator Castro and Senator Martwick came up just short in their match against Senator Bryant and Senator Hills and Senator Glowiak Hilton and I came in second in our match of two, bringing some measure of honor to the Senate Democrats. Senator Cunningham and Joyce did defeat Senators Lewis and Wilcox in a -- in a tough match. But we had not a Country Club Republican on our team. So, next year we're going to be back. We're going to take the same strategy here. I will point out Democrats do outnumber Republicans. Republicans have one -- one Member for each hole, including the nineteenth. So, that's a good sign but as Winston Churchill once said, "We will{sic} (shall) fight on the tee boxes{sic} (beaches), we will{sic} (shall) fight in the fairways{sic} (on the landing grounds, we will{sic} (shall) fight in the sand traps{sic} (fields and in the streets,) we will{sic} (shall) fight on the greens{sic} (hills); and we will win{sic} (we shall never surrender.") But congratulations. Oh, congratulations to all the winners enjoy the trophy for the year. We'll do it again next year and look forward to the rematch and I do -- I did -- I gave some of you but not all of you Senate Democratic branded golf balls. So, I will distribute this to the remaining Republican winners. Fair warning, they go left.

David Koehler (D)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Please state your announcement.

Dale Fowler (R)

I just want to say thank you to both sides and their participation. This is just an idea that we had a couple of months ago and to be able to bring this event to the -- to the -- to the Illinois Senate and I know in talking with President Harmon and the captain over there, Senator Joyce, you know, we talked about, you know, the event and President Harmon says, "Well, the Senator the only thing I got one issue with this why play nine, we can play eighteen." So, I said, "let's get through this." And we had a great time and something to build on next year as the inaugural Senate Cup this year. So, congratulations to both sides. Look forward to that rematch next year. President Harmon, thank you so much.
