Senator Jason Plummer (R-Edwardsville) will serve citizens in Senate District 54 after being sworn into office on Wednesday, Jan. 9.

We have a great deal of work to do and I’m eager to get started.”
Sen. Plummer lives with his wife, Shannon and daughter, Audrey, in Edwardsville. He serves as Vice President of R.P.
