“The Honorable Terry L. Bruce, former Illinois State Senator and U.S. Representative of the 19th Congressional District, passed away April 17th, 2026 at Memorial Hospital in Springfield, IL.”
Someone needs to ask Darren Bailey and all other Eastern Bloc politicians in the Olney area, “Did you ever vote for Terry Bruce and/or Glenn Poshard?” Chances are several of them may say Yes.

I met Terry a few times, when I was in my teens. While we were of different political persuasions, I always liked him.

I usually don’t comment on this post, but I just heard that Sen./Cong. Bruce had passed away. However, someone beat me to the news. RIP.
