He's worked to combat online predators.
Because computers are such a prevalent tool for sexual predators to victimize unsuspecting young adults, Illinois House Republican members introduced new legislation Monday that will prevent predator access to social networking sites and strengthen laws against child pornography.
"Teens post their personal information on the Web everyday and they don't realize that not only are their friends reading their personal information, but so are adult predators," said House Republican Leader Tom Cross. "House Republicans were proactive on this issue last year and we passed landmark protections for our children. Attorneys General from around the country recently got involved and formed a task force to study the issue. Today we are proposing legislation to make the Internet a safer place."
He's also lead on the charge on keeping good doctors in Illinois through Medical Malpractice Reform.
Most importantly, he's been working clean up government for years.
The Illinois House unanimously approved a government ethics reform package on Friday with the hope of eliminating corruption among state workers and elected officials.
The proposal comes after scandals that include the federal corruption case against an aide of former Gov. George Ryan and the Ryan campaign organization.
The former governor has not been charged with any wrongdoing.
"Clearly it's in response to what has been happening," said the bill's sponsor, House Minority Leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego. "We want to restore the public's faith and trust in government, and we think this goes a long way to do this."
