Mayor Rockingham Collaborates with Top Elected Officials

One day post-election, Mayor Leon Rockingham, Jr. was proud to stand alongside Governor JB Pritzker, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth, and Senator-Elect Juliana Stratton as the Governor unveiled his “Fighting for Illinois: The Day One Agenda,” a series of policy proposals urging the newly elected U.S. Congress to take immediate action to provide relief and support for the people of Illinois.

The agenda calls on Congress to address the everyday challenges facing working families by prioritizing higher wages, affordable healthcare, and meaningful solutions to rising costs. Its goals include making life more affordable, strengthening economic opportunities, and ensuring that families have greater financial stability and the opportunity to thrive.

Having strong voices advocating for the needs of Illinois residents at every level of government is important. Mayor Rockingham's participation reflects the importance of collaboration between local, state, and federal leaders to advance policies that support our residents, strengthen our community, and create a brighter future for all.
