Congress Is Everywhere This Summer
This summer’s Congressional recess is a perfect opportunity to connect with your Congressional representatives.
U.S. Representatives Brad Schneider, Sean Casten, and Lauren Underwood are planning a wide array of events in August and September.
Congressman Schneider’s calendar includes hosting “Congress on Your Corner” events in Zion, Vernon Hills, Round Lake, and Wheeling, as well as a birthday celebration. Bicyclists of all ages are also invited to “Bike the Tenth” with him on August 28.
Congressman Sean Casten will be kicking off the first of several town halls with an event in Palatine on Saturday, August 7. Congresswoman Underwood has a busy schedule of town halls in Crystal Lake (August 9), Geneva (August 11) and Oswego (August 14).
Lake County’s variety of summer festivals and parades offer even more opportunities to say hello to—or march alongside—your Congressman or Congresswoman.
