District visits this week!

It’s been a very busy week so far in the 114th District! Yesterday, we hosted a Coffee Talk event in New Athens and made several visits throughout the district. Here is snapshot of our day!

I appreciate everyone who attended this event, especially New Athens mayor Steven Newbold and Superintendent John Lawson from the Veterans Assistance Commission of St. Clair County.

It was a pleasure to meet with Pastor Anthony Pettiford and first lady Tina Pettiford in Washington Park. I had the opportunity to learn more about their community missions and services that would benefit residents.
