SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Paul Faraci was sworn in to serve in the Illinois Senate Wednesday. He looks forward to continuing Senator Scott Bennett’s legacy as a champion for those who are often forgotten.

“I will continue to carry out Scott’s mission of protecting families with children living with disabilities, funding our higher education institutions and representing the diverse needs of the 52^nd Legislative District,” said Faraci (D-Champaign). “By putting party politics aside and working together, we can accomplish so much more for our communities.”
