The past couple of weeks, I have been busy in the district meeting with constituents, business owners, and working hard to make a positive difference. We have an uphill battle to turn things around in Illinois, but I am committed to standing up for the people I represent and will fight for a better future here in the Prairie State!
I want to thank Dr. Wallace for stopping by my office! We had proactive conversations about improving education and economic growth in East St. Louis and the surrounding areas.
Working together creates stronger communities!
SHRED Event

Meeting with the Local Chamber of Commerce

I want to thank the Chamber and everyone who attended and shared their voice!
