Crazy weekend during campaign season!

So many changes of costume this weekend. Like a Cher concert, without Bob Mackie gowns. Also missing a pic from Saturday night! 😆☘️ Church singing, York Township Dems dinner, Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day parade, Elmhurst University President’s breakfast, Dancing with the Stars!

Honored to receive the endorsement of Daniel Hebreard, President of the DuPage County Forest Preserve District Board.

An evening trip to watch Lena perform in the dance concert at University of Illinois. 💕 loved it!

I attended Elmhurst’s annual “State of the City” address with Kevin Graf, President of the Elmhurst Park Board this morning. Mayor Scott Levin gave a presentation on city budgets and how our tax dollars are used. It’s a honor to serve this wonderful community as we prepare to celebrate America 250.

Endorsements will speak for themselves. This is part one from Dyan. Her quote wouldn’t fit on one graphic.

I had the amazing opportunity to hear Dorothy Counts-Scoggins speak today. In 1957, at age 15, she became the first black student at Harding High School, Charlotte, NC,enduring intense harassment for 4 days before transferring schools. She spoke about her impactful life & the power of forgiveness.

The campaign stretch leading up to the primary is here.

Sunday singing part 2.
