As 2025 draws to a close and we look forward to the excitement of a new year, I'd like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season filled with joy, health, and celebration.

Each year as I reflect on the previous 12 months, I am so honored and humbled to get to serve as your State Representative in Springfield. There are long and hard days, but remembering the 108,000 people I represent and the work that we accomplish together makes it all worth it.

Thank you to all who have donated to my annual Holiday Food Drive that will benefit Riverbend families in need this holiday season. There is still time to donate, so drop off your donations to my Alton office by 4:30pm TOMORROW, Friday, December 19th.

My office will be closed for Christmas from December 23rd at 12:00pm through December 26th, and December 31st through January 2nd. Please feel free to still reach out via phone or email and our wonderful staff will get back to you as quickly as possible.

I hope 2026 brings good government and leaders who fight for the people of Illinois and will be providing you with an update on important legislation early in the new year, but for now I hope you can enjoy the close of 2025 with those you care about most.

Merry Christmas and God Bless,

Rep. Amy Elik
