Wallace Walking Door-to-Door this Summer to Hear from Residents

ROCKFORD, Ill. – With legislators back in their districts for the 

remainder of summer, state Rep. Litesa Wallace, D-Rockford, is 

continuing her outreach with residents by walking door-to-door to hear 

their input.

"When I'm in Springfield, I want to make sure that I am acting in the 

best interest of Rockford," Wallace said. "Going door-to-door gives me 

insight on the local issues that affect our neighborhoods across the 

city."

The Illinois General Assembly adjourned June 30 following passage of a 

temporary stop-gap budget. Wallace supported the measure, which will 

increase funding for Rockford schools and pay for essential services 

such as cancer screenings, senior services and disability care. Since 

taking office in 2014, Wallace has routinely engaged residents by going 

door-to-door.

"I have been able to meet a lot of fascinating people in our community 

by going door-to-door and hearing their stories," Wallace said. "There 

will be a lot of important decisions to make in the near future, and 

going bringing government directly to the doorstep of the community with 

help prepare me. These personal stories stick with me, and it's 

important that constituents know that their voice is heard."

organization that is helping to produce current and future leaders for 

this region."

designed to promote education, health and wellness, and community and 

economic wellness within Rockford. Activities have included organizing 

college tours for Rockford high school students and promoting summer 

employment opportunities for youth. Collaboration is emphasized by the 

Wabongo Leadership Council, which holds networking meetings on the first 

Wednesday of every month at varying local restaurants. For more

students who would not have had the opportunity to see the type of 

higher education and career opportunities that were available to them," 

Wallace said. "It has been great to see this organization grow and 

develop, and I look forward to seeing them play an important role in the 

lives of many within this community."
