“I am honored to represent the 53rd District in the Illinois Senate and humbled by the trust placed in me to serve our communities,” Balkema said. “As I step into this role, I want to congratulate Sen. Bennett on his remarkable 10 years of service. His dedication to our district and to the people of Illinois has left a lasting legacy, and I wish him the best in this next chapter of his life.”
Balkema, who won the Republican nomination for the 53rd District Senate seat in March, ran unopposed in the fall general election. Since his elec-
tion, he said he has focused on meeting the 108 mayors in the district, which spans 13 counties, to better understand local needs and priorities.
Balkema was first elected to the Grundy County Board in 2010. He has served as chairman since 2016. In addition to his public service, Balkema has a 31-year career with Caterpillar, holding leadership roles. He is active in his church, previously served on the Grundy County Economic Development Council and held an advisory role on the Taylor University Business Advisory Council.
