Jack Tilton, Zoe White, Erin Murphy, and Riley Doyle spent the day at Sauk Valley Community College with State Senator Win Stoller participating in the 2024-2025 Youth Advisory Council. High school students were invited from across the 37th Senate District to learn more about government through a hands-on approach. The students heard from leaders at the state and local levels, to learn why these people chose careers in public service, and to learn how the students can become involved in government to make a difference with issues they care about. #weRhubs
