Dear Neighbor,

I hope this email finds you well. Next Wednesday, November 3rd at 6:30pm, I am hosting a virtual town hall regarding a regional stormwater project in the North Chicago/Lake Bluff area. Please see more information about this virtual event below. 

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you are enjoying these beautiful fall days and staying healthy! I am so pleased that after several years of study and collaboration, Lake County will soon have a countywide paratransit system, providing a seamless, low-cost option for seniors and disabled residents to get to medical appointments, work, shopping, and other important destinations.

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you've been having a great summer! It has been so nice being able to see so many people in person, and I certainly hope that Lake County residents stay safe and that we can go into fall with continued low positivity rates. 

Dear Neighbor, 

While we are so fortunate to have so many people vaccinated in Lake County and across the country, over 1,000 Lake County residents have died as a result of COVID-19. Worldwide, 3.48 million deaths have been reported from the disease, including over 588,000 people in the United States. As we enter a new season of recovery in Lake County, we will never forget the great cost to our families and communities throughout the pandemic. Please read below information on how and where to get vaccinated. 

I am proud to be a signer of this letter.

Letter calls for clean energy, jobs, justice, and climate action to be at the core of federal economic recovery and infrastructure bill

I am very focused on eliminating or consolidating small taxing bodies where another entity could provide the service in a more efficient manner. Each positive change brings us closer to having professional staff oversee areas and removes high overhead costs - and politics - from the equation.

Read more about these efforts in Lake County and statewide in this article from the Chicago Tribune.

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you will consider joining me a virtual town hall this Wednesday evening (more information below) to hear about COVID 19 vaccines and the work being done to help Lake County residents recover from this pandemic. I'll be joined by:

Dear Neighbor,

Dear Neighbor, 

I hope you are well!  The Lake County Health Department (LCHD), businesses, schools, non-profits, retail pharmacies and health care providers continue to work together to help get people vaccinated. The LCHD is limited by the amount of vaccine received, and there is currently a worldwide shortage.

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you are well, and for those of you in the 1a or 1b vaccination population, I hope you will shortly receive your COVID-19 vaccine! Read below for more information about the vaccine roll-out, phases, and how you can get help or volunteer in this lifesaving effort.
