Less than a month into her first term, state Rep. Marti Deuter, D-Elmhurst, has established the framework to facilitate ongoing communication with constituents and is inviting residents to a series of upcoming events.
“Residents should be able to count on their elected representatives to be accessible, to provide information and to fully hear the concerns of the people they represent,” Deuter said. “More information and engagement lead to better decisions.”
“Constituents want two-way communication they can count on. I am committed to being an active representative by engaging with constituents through Satellite Office Hours at public libraries, hosting direct service events and bringing in experts to present on the issues crucial to our communities in District 45.”
Three events are planned in February. On Saturday, Feb. 22, Deuter is hosting a Constituent Open House from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the District 45 office, located at 1 South Cass Avenue, Suite 104, in Westmont.
On Wednesday, Feb. 26, Deuter is teaming up with state Sen. Suzy Glowiak Hilton, D-Western Springs, to host a Mobile Secretary of State Department of Motor Vehicles event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Services include drivers license and state ID updates, Real ID applications and vehicle stickers. Appointments are required. Please call Glowiak’s office at 630-785-3177 to schedule.
On Friday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. until noon, Deuter is hosting Satellite Office Hours in the lobby of Elmhurst Public Library. Walk-ins welcome.
To supplement direct service events and constituent office hours, Deuter will also be hosting a Speaker Series with presentations by subject area experts to provide clear information on the issues affecting fiscal decisions, economic growth and quality of life within the state and district. Look for future quarterly Speaker Series topics to include public transit, pensions and economic development.
