To connect with residents and keep the community up to date on important legislative issues, State Sen. Laura Murphy (D-28th) will host a virtual town hall meeting via Zoom at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 22.

Murphy will be joined by representatives from the Illinois Dept. of Insurance and Get Covered Illinois, who will be on hand to answer constituents’ questions about health insurance coverage and Special Enrollment periods for the Affordable Care Act Marketplace.
