As you know, I come from a rich history of family who have served here. I have wonderful personal memories as being a child here in this chamber. Couldn't imagine that I would be here today at this time. But I take… I feel the full responsibility that has been put upon me and I have been in prayer that I could serve the people of the 118th District with wisdom, integrity, and compassion. And so, I look forward to working with all of you, both sides of the aisle, and getting to know you better.

I'm humbled by this opportunity to continue her legacy to be standing here in the same place with so many great people before me and currently that I serve with. I look forward to 10000079.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day 10/24/2017 this opportunity. I think it's just great.
