Illinois House of Representatives

During the 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries, Rose endorsed the presidential campaign of Rudy Giuliani.[8] In 2009, Rose introduced legislative resolutions to overhaul the trustee selection process at the University of Illinois and demanded additional audits of IllinoisVENTURES after the state auditor found legal violations in a previous investigation.[9]

Illinois Senate

During the 2011 decennial redistricting process, the 51st district was drawn without an incumbent while Rose was drawn into the same House district as fellow Republican Bill Mitchell. Rose opted to run for the "newly" created 51st Senate district while Mitchell ran for re-election in the House.[10] In the 2012 election, Rose defeated Tom Pliura in the Republican primary and ran unopposed in the general election.[11] [12]

Rose currently serves on the following committees: Appropriations (Minority Spokesperson); Approp Ed; Insurance; Judiciary; Transportation; Privacy.[13]
