“This event is all about saying thank you to the heroes who keep our communities safe,” said Senator Harriss. “First responders in the 56th District face challenges every day to protect our families and neighborhoods. We want to honor their dedication and provide a chance for them to connect with colleagues and the community.”
The open house will include complimentary BBQ sandwiches and sides, giving attendees an opportunity to relax and be recognized for their service. RSVPs are encouraged but not required. Those interested in attending can contact Paige Buente at (217) 782-7330 or pbuente@sgop.ilga.gov.
