Working for Illinois Caucus

Oswego Democratic State Representative Stephanie Kifowit took part in several veterans-related activities during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week. While she was not involved in the DNC directly, she was a part of a veterans’ event as well as a council that met during the convention.

Kifowit says she is excited about increasing veteran representation in local and national government, as vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is a veteran of the National Guard.

Kifowit says having an event like the DNC in Illinois is an opportunity to showcase the state on a national and international level, and the opportunity to network with representatives and leaders from across the U.S. in that environment is a one-ok-a-kind experience.

The four-day convention is being held at the United Center and ends Thursday with Kamala Harris set to accept the democratic nomination for the November presidential election.
