Let’s turn this around, together.- ❋ Mental Health & Wellness
The Issue Families across District 111 are experiencing rising mental health challenges — from anxiety in our classrooms to isolation among seniors. Too many people are waiting months for care or going without help entirely.
❋ Jobs & Economic Opportunity
The Issue
District 111 is full of hardworking people — but wages aren’t keeping up, and too many young people feel they have to leave to succeed. - ❋ Education & Youth Empowerment The Issue Our educators are stretched thin, our classrooms are crowded, and students deserve more opportunity — not fewer options. ❋ Infrastructure & Environment The Issue Aging infrastructure and environmental challenges affect daily life — from flooded streets to unsafe water lines.
- ❋ Revitalization & Safe Communities The Issue People want to feel safe in their homes and proud of their neighborhoods — without fear or neglect. ❋ Technology & Innovation The Issue Access to technology and broadband should not depend on your zip code.
