10th News: Creating a Future for Our Future Leaders

March 23, 2023

It was really special being home all of last week. I enjoyed meeting with constituents in my office, took my District Listening Tour to Antioch, attended Chamber of Commerce events in Spring Grove, Northbrook, and Mundelein, visited Allendale’s Lake Villa campus, celebrated the 18 students I am honored to nominate this year to our nation’s service academies, and even had time to mark St. Patrick’s Day in Richmond and Lake Forrest.

Last week, in his State of the Union address, President Biden used his annual time in front of a joint session of Congress to share his vision for a bright future for America.
