Wow! It has been a busy couple of weeks, and I wanted to update you on what I’ve been up to and what’s going on around the 114th District.
WHERE’S KEVIN
I’ve been around the district – from Scott AFB for the Change of Command at Air Mobility Command to Mascoutah to congratulate them on the LTSA Grant to Cahokia Heights to open up new EV Chargers to East St. Louis for a youth mental health panel, it has been a busy couple of weeks!
SMITHTON
I worked with the state to get this sign up to congratulate the 2024 SIJHSAA Class M Girls Basketball Champions! Now everyone driving into Smithton will be reminded of the great accomplishment by our local girls basketball team.
