State Reps Plan "Coffee and Conversation" in Wilmette

A pair of elected officials are planning a “Coffee and Conversation” event, an informal discussion about state and local issues, on February 24 at the Wilmette Public Library.

State Rep. Robyn Gabel, D-Evanston and State Rep. Laura Fine, D-Glenview will lead the discussion from 10-11 a.m. to update residents and answer questions about recent events in Springfield.

“Our Coffee and Conversation is a great opportunity to stay in touch with local residents’ concerns and share important discussions over a cup of coffee,” Gabel said. “These meetings allow me to hear directly from constituents and help me to be a better advocate for their interests in our State Capitol. I encourage residents to stop by to discuss ideas and share their concerns.”

“To best represent the 17th District, it is important that we bring government directly to constituents,” Fine added. “I encourage anyone who needs help or would like to share their concerns about the state to stop by and visit.”

The event is free and open to the public.
