To help build community and connect with residents, state Rep. Jenn Ladisch Douglass (D-45, Elmhurst) is hosting an open house from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24, at 1 S. Cass Ave. in Westmont.

“Building relationships with community members and learning about the issues that are important to them are essential to my job as a state representative. The voices of my constituents help me craft my legislative agenda so I can best represent them in Springfield,” Ladisch Douglass said. “That’s why I invite everyone to attend our open house and learn more about what the state government can do for you. I can’t wait to meet even more of our great community.”

This event is free, and food and drinks will be provided.
