Ann Harris, IBEW Local 51 Member & Employee of Clinton Power Station

I am a proud member of IBEW Local 51 and an employee of Clinton Power Station in DeWitt County. For the past 34 years, I have worked at the plant day in and day out to provide safe, reliable, clean air electricity to the state of Illinois.

My job at the plant has provided a great living for my family. Without this job, I could not have put my two sons and daughter through college. I live in Farmer City and enjoy volunteering in the community. I’m active in the local chamber of commerce and like to volunteer at local food pantries. Exelon does a great job supporting these organizations.

But all of this and the economic well-being of my family and families across the state are at risk because outdated energy policies are driving nuclear plants around the country to close prematurely. Clinton Power Station could be next. The Low Carbon Portfolio Standard would help prevent this. It’s good for Illinois and good for our economy.

I urge members of the General Assembly to support the low carbon portfolio standard (HB 3293 & SB 1585)
