Wishing a happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating the beginning of the Festival of Lights tonight. Chag Urim Sameach!

Yesterday, America lost someone who embodied honor, decency, class, love of family, and love of country - and someone who’s legacy will continue to serve as a point of light for generations to come. Rest In Peace, President George H.W. Bush. Your example will never be forgotten.

Great time at the 53rd Annual Hinsdale Christmas Walk. Thank you to the Hinsdale Chamber of Commerce for planning this event.

Yesterday, I took part in a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency briefing for public officials about their planned next steps to analyze ambient air test results and conduct an updated risk assessment for residents impacted by Sterigenics’ EtO emissions. I also attended a public meeting during the evening where residents asked important and poignant questions. We must ensure our federal and state regulations accurately address the real public health risk posed by EtO emissions. I will continue to be an advocate for residents, their health, and their safety on this issue. Nothing is more important.
