SPRINGFIELD – To emphasize the importance of learning throughout the summer, State Senator Adriane Johnson is hosting a Summer Book Club to encourage students to read and continue their studies during the summer vacation.
“Reading unlocks a child’s imagination and opens doors to lifelong learning,” said Johnson (D-buffalo Grove). “Through this summer book club, I want to encourage our young readers to explore new worlds, ask big questions, and discover the power of their own voices.”
SPRINGFIELD — After the Illinois Senate approved the Fiscal Year 2026 state budget, State Senator Adriane Johnson (D–Buffalo Grove) released the following statement:
“This year’s budget continues to reflect our values—strengthening the services our most vulnerable neighbors rely on while maintaining a firm commitment to financial responsibility.
“I’m especially proud that we’ve made key investments to improve how Illinois delivers care and support, including updates to the state’s 2-1-1 helpline system. These improvements will ensure that people seeking housing, mental health care, food assistance and more are met with timely, reliable help—and that we as a state are learning from the data to better serve every corner of our communities.
SPRINGFIELD — To raise awareness and improve understanding of a rare but life-altering condition, State Senator Adriane Johnson presented a resolution to the Senate declaring September 2025 as Scarring Alopecia Awareness Month in Illinois.
“Scarring alopecia is more than just hair loss — it’s a permanent, often painful condition that deeply impacts people’s physical and emotional well-being,”
SPRINGFIELD —Seeking to ensure greater fairness and dignity in access to life insurance, State Senator Adriane Johnson champions legislation that would prohibit insurers from denying final expense life insurance coverage solely because an applicant has a past felony conviction.
“No one should be denied the ability to plan for the future because of a past mistake,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “People who have served their time deserve the opportunity to protect their loved ones from the financial burdens that come with end-of-life costs.”
