I had the pleasure of having Katrina Schroeder as my shadow at the Capitol. She was formerly the President of the Youth Advisory Council for the Department of Children & Family Services. She spent 12 years under the care of DCFS and got her college degree. Now she’s a transformational speaker, helping people find freedom from inside out.

The City Council is considering how Chicago should shape the future of civilian oversight for public safety, and the Public Safety Committee is holding five community meetings to hear from you.

Loyola Ramblers Men's Basketball team members, Coach Porter Moser and Sister Jean are at the Capitol today. We are celebrating their success. Lucas Williamson, a freshman on the team and a 5th District resident, addressed the Senate! Congratulations!
