In a recent advisory group meeting led by Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, discussions focused on ensuring the integrity of the upcoming 2024 elections. The meeting, held at the Wheaton Library, included representatives from the League of Women Voters and emphasized the importance of proper oversight in voter registration and vote counting. Participants engaged in a robust, nonpartisan dialogue aimed at preventing misconduct and interference in the electoral process. Follow-up meetings are planned to continue these critical discussions.
Additionally, the Congresswoman participated in a traditional event at Laurel Hill Elementary School, marking the first day of school with a performance of the national anthem. This year, the school welcomed a new principal and vice principal, and the event was met with excitement from students, including some emotional first graders.
