Early voting is underway for the November 3 Illinois General Election, and I encourage eligible voters across the 37th District to make a plan to cast their ballot. It is open to anyone, but I especially encourage remote military members, those with disabilities, and those who will be away traveling to get their vote counted!
Our representative government depends on people taking an active role. Elected officials make decisions that affect our daily lives, and voting gives you a say in who makes those decisions. It is one of the most direct ways you can help shape the future of our communities and our state.
I believe the responsibility of representing you begins with remembering that government belongs to the people. Elections give you the power to choose leaders who reflect your priorities, and hold them accountable for their actions in office. That responsibility deserves thoughtful consideration, and I encourage you to learn about the choices on your ballot. You can go to your local county website to see a sample ballot.
Whether you vote ahead of time or on Election Day, please make voting a priority and encourage those around you to do the same.
Early voting locations and hours vary, so check with your local election authority before heading out. Visit the Illinois State Board of Elections website for early voting locations and additional election information. Support should always be available for those with disabilities!
