Come learn about your new voting districts for the county, state, and federal levels.

Reid McCollum will lead a discussion about the new districts at all levels. Many people will be in new districts at both the state and federal level so that your representative may now be someone new. Much of Elmhurst has become part of the 6th district currently represented by Sean Casten. At the state level, Deanne Mazzochi's district has also been changed.

Reid will have maps to help you identify your district and representatives/candidates. Reid is also a wealth of knowledge on why certain districts are important to the House of Representatives. Come learn where we should focus our efforts for the fall!

Reid has been active in progressive activism and Democratic politics in Illinois since 2017. He helped lead the Coalition for a Better IL-6, which was instrumental in flipping the IL-6 Congressional District from red to blue in 2018. In 2019, Reid co-founded Postcards to Swing States, whose volunteers wrote 21 million postcards to voters in 2020. Postcards to Swing States became part of Progressive Turnout Project in 2021, and Reid left a 15-year career in operations management at McMaster-Carr in Elmhurst to direct the program full time. Reid earned a BA in English and Economics from Washington University in St. Louis. He lives in Hinsdale with his wife, Alyson, and two elementary school–aged daughters.
