Over the last 10 years, I’ve done 120 of something I called Cheri-on-Shifts. I job-shadowed folks and walked in the shoes of the people I serve, to get a firsthand view of the challenges Illinoisans face every day. This is the story behind a decade Cheri-on-Shifts ⬇️

As part of my Library of Congress Book Deliveries, I visited 58 local libraries across NW & Central IL and delivered over 2,900 donated books! From a young age, I've always loved to read, and I’ve loved sharing this passion with kids across our communities.

Over the last 10 years, my office recovered $5.3 MILLION that constituents were owed from federal agencies like the IRS, SSA and the VA. I’m so proud of the work I’ve done to make sure the people I serve can keep more of their hard-earned dollars!

With the passage of this year's gov’t funding bill, 15/15 of my Community Project Funding requests got included, meaning every project I’ve ever submitted will become law!

There is no better way to conclude my time in Congress than by delivering funding for vital projects in our communities one final time.
