FIGHTING FOR SENIORS & THOSE MOST IN NEED:  

As Chair of the County’s Human Services Committee, I am proud of my accomplishments during my first 3 years on the DuPage County Board:

A) Implemented a 2-1-1 phone system for residents in need. This is a 24/7/365 phone number that residents can call to obtain social service assistance any time of day or night. 

B) Increased staffing and salaries for the DuPage Care Center Staff. It’s vitally important to take care of those who take care of our most vulnerable population.

C) Advocated for renovation to the DuPage Care Center, which houses hundreds of our aging population and hasn’t been updated in 40 years.

D) Supported hiring of more staff and better pay for the Veteran’s Assistance Committee to take care of our aging Veterans and their spouses.

E) Secured millions of ARPA dollars to fight food insecurity, housing instability, and mental health and addiction issues.
