It was my honor to attend several events honoring our veterans.
Thank you to all who have served!
I enjoyed a Marine Birthday Celebration at the Manteno Veterans’
Home. It was a great group and lovely celebration!
Turkey Giveaway
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?

Very proud of our dad who dedicated so much to emergency
services in this community. Also incredibly proud of both he and our

Good Shepherd Manor. Their memories and legacy live on
