Kifowit Announces "Coffee with Kifowit" Schedule for April

State Rep. Stephanie Kifowit

AURORA, Ill. – As the General Assembly prepares to craft next year’s state budget, state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, is inviting area residents to join her for “Coffee with Kifowit” during the month of April to discuss this and other local and state issues.

“I have enjoyed hosting these weekly coffees and getting to know the people I represent in Springfield,” Kifowit said. “Over the coming weeks and months, I will be voting on issues that affect everyone in our community. I want to take this time to meet with residents and discuss these important topics, which include the state budget, providing property tax relief to area homeowners, and protecting education funding for local schools.”

The goal of “Coffee with Kifowit” is to foster dialogue between Kifowit and area residents hoping to make a meaningful impact in their community. Anyone with an opinion on Illinois issues, policies, or programs is welcome to attend this free event. Kifowit hopes to continue to make herself accessible with events like this, as well as at her district office in Aurora. The event is free and open to the public, and coffee, tea or soda will be provided.

Kifowit will meet constituents for coffee at the following dates and locations:

• Monday, April 13 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
Maxfield’s, 2290 Ogden Ave. in Aurora

• Monday, April 20 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
Benny’s Place, 1158 Douglas Rd. in Oswego

• Monday, April 27 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
