Sue was elected in November 2010 to the Illinois House Representatives. She was then appointed in December 2010 to the Illinois State Senate where she proudly represents the 38th Legislative District.

In the Illinois Senate, Senator Rezin serves as the Minority Spokesperson on the Senate Environment Committee. She also sits on the committee for Agriculture and Conservation, Appropriations II, Commerce, Energy as well as the Committee of the Whole.
