Community Outreach

Thank you to everyone who attended my Coffee & Conversation Event at Sunrise Family Restaurant in Rochelle last week! I enjoyed speaking with constituents and giving updates on what has been happening down in Springfield.

It was an honor to help United Way of Whiteside County hand out meals to children in need last week at the Let’s Feed Our Children Event. This incredible organization has been keeping children in our community fed while school is not in session–distributing over 45,000 lunches this summer alone!

My office attended the LaSalle County Highway Commissioner’s picnic. There was great turnout from other elected officials and local residents across LaSalle County!

Congratulations to Willis Senior Lofts in Rochelle on your open house and ribbon cutting! This new facility will provide much-needed affordable senior living in our community.
