“I look forward to meeting residents from our local communities and hearing the issues that they are most concerned about,” Phelps Finnie said in a news release.  

“As the new state representative for our district, I want to be a strong voice for the people that I represent, and hearing their perspectives and opinions directly will help me to be an effective state representative.”

Phelps Finnie’s office open house is scheduled Thursday, Sept. 28, from  5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

“Constituents will be able to talk to me face-to-face about the obstacles that Southern Illinois is up against. I encourage folks from the surrounding communities to join me at my office open house, and I hope to see them there.”
