This coming Monday, I'm teaming up with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (video remarks) and IL Assistant Majority Leader State Representative Delia Ramirez to discuss the complex role of U.S and Central American relations in the past and present.

I will report on my recent trip to Honduras and Guatemala where I met with Indigenous, environmental, and human rights defenders and heard firsthand how U.S. foreign policy continues to work contrary to the self-determination of the people most affected in the region.

Attention Irving Park residents: my office is working to address the issue of tow trucks from the Cook County Tow company speeding down Drake from Addison to Elston. Last week I sent the below letter to the owner of the company requesting to meet and asking that he cease and desist the reckless driving of his vehicles.

At Wednesday's City Council meeting I also introduced an ordinance to reduce the speed limit on Drake to 20 miles per hour to improve pedestrian safety around Athletic Field Park and Murphy Elementary School.

If you have questions or feedback please email my staffer Billy Drew at [email protected] or call our office at 773-887-3772.
