I am honored to share my vision and passion
with the citizens of Illinois' 7th District, a
district I have served with distinction since 2001. As
your representative, I work to advance the interests of the
people of the District. My efforts on behalf of the
District has resulted in legislation that has benefited
families, children, seniors, business owners, educators,
healthcare workers and care-givers, the disabled, and the
unemployed throughout the state of Illinois. |
