Quigley Hosts Community Events to Assist Constituents
CHICAGO -- Last week during August District Work Period, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) hosted community events in the 5th District including a Jobs Resource Fair and "Congress on Your Corner to help constituents looking for work and to hear their thoughts on local and national issues. The job fair took place at Northside College Prep High School where dozens of employers, government agencies, and educational institutions were on hand to assist nearly 300 job seekers who attended. Earlier in the week, Quigley hosted a "Congress on Your Corner" event at the Jewel-Osco in Franklin Park along with the town's mayor, Barrett Pedersen.

"Policy happens in Washington, but my District is where the rubber meets the road," said Quigley. "Whether it's helping people with a Jobs Fair or hearing from them at a Congress on Your Corner, District Work Period is a wonderful opportunity to connect with my constituents."
