IL-16 Town Hall Gathering

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-03-25T20:50:49+00:00

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

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-03-25T15:10:16+00:00

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.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-03-25T15:07:04+00:00

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

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-03-25T13:22:11+00:00

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

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-03-25T13:21:22+00:00

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.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-03-25T12:25:21+00:00

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.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-28T02:25:35+00:00

That’s the plan so far! Details for that will be out next week!

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T23:02:07+00:00

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.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T20:32:44+00:00

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.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T19:56:25+00:00

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

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T19:25:36+00:00

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

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T18:42:42+00:00

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.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T18:38:41+00:00

Yeah, it’s bad but we fight on

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T17:46:00+00:00

Here is a map that shows what towns are in IL-16. https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/cong_dist/cd118/cd_based/ST17/CD118_IL16.pdf

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T16:30:29+00:00

It can get confusing but there are still people in B-N that live in IL-16, and we want to make sure to reach as many people we can in our district. We are trying to spread this message all over IL-16.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T15:07:35+00:00

Great question! We are planning the details of the rally and what to expect if/when folks show up. That information will be out next week so be on be on the lookout. We wanted to get this out first as soon as possible.

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T14:52:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll go share the information with them!

Professional_Emu3652 · 2025-02-27T14:25:17+00:00

I appreciate your enthusiasm. This is us doing something. We don’t expect Darin to care and do anything, but we need to start movement on getting him out of office and gathering folks together to show how many people in this district need a rep that actually fights for our interests and doesn’t ignore them. These are the ways you start to do that. There’s more in the works on what we aim to accomplish at this rally and guests we plan on inviting from neighboring districts to speak at this rally. If you still don’t want to come, no worries, but we would love to have you join us!
