Use the links above to contact the respective officials to express your concerns about the impact that these tax lien sales will have on our community in the 37th Council District.

Community & Safety

Schools are Delayed

Last week we had the opportunity to tour the gem of our community, Highland Park to see how we can allocate city resources to continue to preserve Highland Park.
