@RobertJPeters Great to work with you on this important issue for our youth!

This legislation honors Rev. Jackson’s vision that every young person enters adulthood with the tools and opportunity to participate in our democracy. By connecting voter registration opportunities with high schools, we are helping empower the next generation of civic leaders.

Proud to have the Merchandise Mart in the 5th district and call it home!

Today in 1930, the Merchandise Mart opened and became the world's largest building. It was originally built to centralize the wholesale operations of Marshall Field & Co. It was so large, it had its own zip code. #chicago #history

If we want a stronger democracy, we have to start earlier — meeting young people where they are and empowering them to participate.

Onward. 🗳️ #HB4339 #CivicEngagement #YouthVote
