CHICAGO — State Sen. Bill Cunningham (18th District), along with State Reps. Fran Hurley (35th District) and Kelly Burke (36th), will host a virtual town hall via Zoom on from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7.

The state legislators will update audience members on new laws that passed the Illinois General Assembly last spring, discuss upcoming legislative issues, and answer questions from residents.

“We wanted to find a safe way to connect with the people we represent, despite the ongoing pandemic,” said Cunningham, a Democrat who represents portions of Chicago and the southwest suburbs. “A virtual town hall will allow everyone to participate, no matter their health concerns.”

Cunningham, Hurley, and Burke encourage local residents to submit questions in advance on Sen. Cunningham’s website by Oct. 6. Residents will also be able to ask questions during the virtual town hall via Zoom.

Advance registration is required by Oct. 7 to receive the Zoom link through Cunningham’s website.

Between the three state lawmakers, their districts include all or parts of suburban communities in Worth, Palos and Orland Township including Evergreen Park, Merrionette Park, Hometown, Palos Hills, Palos Park, Orland Park, Orland Hills, and the Mount Greenwood, Beverly and Auburn-Gresham neighborhoods in Chicago.
