Livingston County Board Member sworn in as State Representative for 106th House District

GIBSON CITY (25 News Now) - Livingston County Board Member Jason Bunting was officially sworn in on Saturday as the new State Representative of the 106th Illinois House District.

Bunting replaces Rep. Tom Bennett, who was recently appointed to the Illinois State Senate.

Bunting previously served in elected office as Highway Commissioner of Broughton Township. He also served as President of the Livingston County Farm Bureau until 2023 and is a Director for the Illinois Corn Growers’ Association.

“I am honored to serve as the State Representative for the 106th District,” said Bunting. “As farmers and small business owners, my family has seen firsthand how bad policies from Springfield have hurt the business climate in Illinois and have driven families and job creators away. I promise to work tirelessly to bring the conservative values of the residents of this district to Springfield.”

The 106th House District covers parts of Ford, Grundy, Iroquois, LaSalle, Livingston, McLean, and Will Counties.
