We spent the weekend in the streets, in the sun, and surrounded by some of the best people in Jackson County.

Turns out campaigning is even more fun when there’s a parade. Jackson County had a great weekend and so did we! I am grateful I got to meet so many people. I am looking forward to these warmer months out in our community leading up to the election.

Big shoutout to all of those who came out yesterday! While the support for Chip Markel for Illinois State Representative 118th District and I was overwhelming, the friendship and sense of community surpassed that. Folks sponsored, baked cookies, helped set up, and played some great bocce! Murphysboro is lucky to have such a unique and thriving bocce scene.

I had a great conversation today with Will Stephens on WXAN. As the former city attorney for Murphysboro and a small business owner I’m proud of what our mayor is doing on and off Main Street.

Attorney, and Candidate for Resident Circuit Judge, Ben Reed, joined WXAN to discuss his primary election victory, his judicial temperament, his view on the Safe-T-Act, the efficiency of the Court Sys

There’s only one team spot left but we are still looking for court sponsors. Show your support for Ben and Chip by sponsoring a court or just come out and enjoy the day at Riverside Park. We will have lunch and other treats throughout the day!

Campaign season might feel a little quieter right now, but my commitment to this community hasn’t slowed down.

I’m out here, still showing up, always listening, and staying involved in the causes that matter most to me and this community. Whether I am meeting neighbors, supporting local charity efforts, or staying entrenched in the work that makes our region stronger, this isn’t just about a campaign, it’s about community service.

I’m grateful for every conversation and every opportunity to be present in Jackson County.

We were proud to be a table sponsor the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Illinois Youth of the Year Gala, and even prouder to witness what this community is capable of when it shows up for its kids.
Every silent auction item sold. They came within reach of a $30,000 goal. And those youth performances? Unforgettable.
Southern Illinois doesn't always get the credit it deserves, but nights like this are proof that the heart here is real. Organizations like BGCSI aren't just programming, they're infrastructure for kids and families who need it most.
Congratulations to the BGCSI team, staff, board, volunteers, and every single person who made Tuesday night possible. We're honored to be part of this community alongside you.

2,193 of you voted for me and I am genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude.

This primary saw more than double* the voter turnout of 2024 — and that energy matters. Every single vote is a signal that Jackson County is paying attention and showing up. Let’s keep that momentum going into November.

The more voices we have at the polls, the stronger our Jackson county is.
