Thank you to Options CIL for the recognition of my work in Springfield at your Annual Meeting. It’s my pleasure to continue to advocate for the needs of your consumers and those in the 79th District.
 
Veteran's Day
 It was my honor to attend several events honoring our veterans. Thank you to all who have served!
Marine Birthday Celebration
I enjoyed a Marine Birthday Celebration at the Manteno Veterans’ Home. It was a great group and lovely celebration!

What a successful giveaway! We passed out several Thanksgiving meals at the Court Street McDonald's.
Food Drive
This month I teamed up with Circuit Judge Marlow Jones and State's Attorney Jim Rowe to host a Non-perishable food drive. Thank you all for your donations!

Eriksen ECLA Fellows Summit

I proudly participated in the ECLA Fellows Summit and was happy to shed light on legislation that will help our youngest generation get access to the resources they need to thrive…but the work isn’t done. I’m ready to get back to work in Springfield to continue moving the needle forward.

Local Business Spotlight

I honored Sweet Street for its historic place in our community; for over 30 years they’ve been delivering sweet treats to us and I’m proud to have them here. I visited them to deliver a special certificate of recognition from the Illinois House to show them just how much they mean to me, our community, and residents throughout the 79th District! Thanks Sweet Street!

Thanksgiving

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! I am thankful for my family, our health, great food and friendship. I am also so grateful for the opportunity to represent this community in Springfield!

Small Business Saturday

It was great to celebrate Small Business Saturday. I started with dropping off toys to help “fill the bus” for local charities, then making stops at several local small shops! I had some great luck checking items off my Christmas list, how about you?
