\u201cI am looking forward to diving right into these committees and getting to work for the people of the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0District this spring,\u201d Rep. Stephens said. \u201cIssues ranging from labor, supporting first responders, maintaining strong cities and infrastructure, and regulating gaming in our state are important to my constituents and all Illinoisans. I am eager to bring forth the views of our northwest side and suburban communities in these debates and to my leadership in the Cities & Villages Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n Rep. Stephens brings a unique perspective to his spokesperson role on the Cities & Villages Committee as CEO and mayor of Rosemont following his experience as a village trustee for 18 years prior to becoming mayor.
