I'm excited to announce the Tenth District is participating in the annual Congressional App Challenge this year. This competition showcases and strengthens high school students' STEM and coding skills by challenging them to work in teams to conceive and build creative software applications. I can wait to see what you create!

NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE HOURS

As a reminder, our office hosts frequent Neighborhood Office Hours for constituents to more easily meet with caseworkers and staff to discuss any federal issues that they may have. We're here to help if you have issues with Medicare, Social Security, the Veterans Administration, immigration and more.

This Thursday, we'll be in Zion, North Chicago, and Lake Forest. Check the schedule on our website for details and to find out when our team will be in your community.

As always, please continue to stay in touch and share your thoughts, either by calling our DC office at (202) 225-4835 or emailing via our website.
