Duckworth Meets and Greets Families, Students and Stakeholders in Southern Illinois

During the final day of her RV tour across Illinois, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) today visited the Eurma C. Hayes Center to meet with parents, students, teachers, administrators and staff at Tri County Special Education (TCSE) and answer students’ questions about being a U.S. Senator. After the meet and greet, Duckworth held an open house with local electeds and stakeholders where she discussed her efforts to help working Illinoisans keep more money in their pockets, as well as her support for economic development and updated infrastructure in the region. Duckworth continued by underscoring how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will help create jobs, lower energy costs, cut inflation, save Americans money, reduce the deficit and help make sure megacorporations finally pay their fair share in taxes.
