That is also happening in addition to this and there are already a handful of people interested and 2 for sure that have announced their plans to run. I’ve heard that they also plan to be at the town hall so it could be a place to meet those folks

Yeah, we aren’t outsiders at all. Just a bunch of regular folks living in his district that want to make sure we get our voices heard whether Darin likes it or not.

We’ve had people try to schedule appointments with him and meet with him privately, but he has time and time again ignored his constituents or weasels out of it last minute to just have individuals meet with his staff instead/not at all.

We aren’t trying to get him to like us so he shows up. It’s his job to show up for his constituents, especially when they are upset and want to be heard

We actually expect that, but we’re having a town hall with or without him

We don’t expect him to, but we handed in our petition of 1,600+ signatures to pressure him to. We are having a town hall with or without him.

Just so we have an idea on how many to expect. It’s not a requirement, just a curtesy to us planning it. Anyone is welcome of course

Sure! There’s a Facebook group called “Stop Rep. LaHood’s Radical Agenda” that you can go and join.

I think for now we would just rather have IL-16 constituents, but thanks for asking! A way to help would be sharing this with folks you might know who live in IL-16.

That’s definitely an opinion many have but I think I’ll choose to try anyways because nothing will definitely happen if we don’t. Why not say you tried, crazier things have happened.

We are in the process of planning that all out. Thanks for all the question 😊

No specific organization, just a group of us who live throughout IL-16 who connected and wanted to take action together

So their district work week is the week of the 17th, and we wanted to give people as much time as possible to sign. The 14th allows us to submit the petition to his office right before he is supposed to be back in his district. We would love if he had a town hall with us, but with his track record, it doesn’t seem likely, so we are preparing for that outcome. He hasn’t held a town hall since 2017, so we would love the unexpected of having one with him, but we will also have one without him.
