If this lady is who I think it is, I believe she will be a solid supporter of hunting and gun rights. Hap

Second the best I can remember. Colleen was in there when I retired in 2019 and this gal replaced her.

We'll see. Although if Pritzger has anything at all to do with it I won't hold my breath.

I was not aware of how the IL DNR director's position is filled. Looks like DNR directors serve at the pleasure of the governer, Colleen Callahan was asked to step down by our governer and Natalie Phelps was appointed to the position.
We shall see how this goes.
