The 103rd Illinois General Assembly was sworn into office this week at the University of Illinois-Springfield. With redistricting, there is a strange mix of experienced politicians representing new people and new counties. Knox County and the surrounding area saw its legislative districts change as a result of the decennial census. Dan Swanson (R-Alpha) was sworn to for his fourth term to represent the newly drawn 71st district, which includes the City of Galesburg. Swanson said that about 20 percent of his old district carried over to the new one that he now represents. "I'm looking for the opportunity to once again to serve and represent my constituents in my district. I've been out and about in my new district, the 71st. I've got a lot of ideas on some potential legislation that the people would like to see for the district. And, it would be a betterment for Illinois so I hope to get some of my own legislation passed for my constituents for the district." Tr
