Today, I was presented with an award by Ian Piet on behalf of Respiratory Health Association for co-sponsoring the Tobacco 21 bill. With the bill’s signing into law on July 1st, Illinois became the first state in the Midwest to raise the purchase age of tobacco products to 21. Reducing access to tobacco products will have a positive impact on future smoking rates.
It is an honor to stand with young men like Ian and the Respiratory Health Association, and work together to protect the health of all of the young people in Illinois.
Thank you to all for coming to my first open house. It is an honor to serve as your State Representative and fight for our community, and our shared values.

Every day, 100 Americans are killed by senseless gun violence. I am taking steps to protect our families and keep our community safe. I supported Senate Bill 1966 to close dangerous loopholes in the FOID card system and help keep deadly firearms out of the wrong hands. #WearOrange
Today marks the 75th anniversary of allied forces landing in Normandy, France and winning a decisive victory that helped lead to the end of World War II. Let us take a moment today to remember the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation to keep our nation safe and free.
