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.

Stay in touch with your representative
