State Senator Erica Harriss has released a statement following a Sangamon County judge's temporary injunction blocking the controversial election law passed by the Majority Party earlier this month.

"The residents of our state deserve free and fair elections, and today’s ruling is a positive step towards ensuring that," said Senator Erica Harriss. "It is crucial that candidates in the current election cycle are not stripped of their constitutional rights, while voters are provided options at the ballot box. I hope today’s announcement serves as a strong reminder of our commitment to upholding the state constitution, as pledged in our oath of office."
