2024 Summer Tour
![](https://repfritts.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2024/05/Fritts-Summer-Tour-Social-2024-01-869x1024.png)
I am excited to announce my second annual summer tour! Last year, I met hundreds of residents across the district to learn more about what is needed from me as a legislator. I plan to do that again this year to make sure the voices of my constituents are heard and to bring their priorities back to Springfield.
The tour consists of traveling office hours and coffee & conversation events from June 7th to August 30th. Coffee & conversation events will all be held at locally-owned coffee shops and restaurants. I will also team up with local chambers of commerce to visit and tour a local business each week in order to better understand their state needs.
I look forward to meeting with as many of my constituents as possible this summer, all while spending time at local establishments in an effort to better learn the needs and struggles of the district.
