Julie recently attended a community fundraiser in support of Yasmeen Bankole running for US IL8, joining neighbors, advocates, and local leaders who believe in strengthening representation across the Fox Valley. The event brought together an energized crowd committed to lifting up candidates who lead with integrity and a deep commitment to public service.
Julie was proud to stand with Yasmeen, recognizing the hard work, heart, and community focus she brings to her campaign. The evening was filled with thoughtful conversations about shared priorities: protecting human rights, expanding opportuity to everyone, and making local government more responsive to the people it serves.
Events like this highlight what makes Kane County special: leaders supporting leaders, and a community willing to invest in a brighter, more inclusive future.
Following are some of the remarks shared about the event:
“I had a wonderful evening at Yasmeen Bankole’s fundraiser tonight!”
“I loved meeting new neighbors, reconnecting with familiar faces, and supporting a leader who truly cares about our community.”
“Moments like these remind me why I’m running — people coming together to listen, share ideas, and lift each other up. 
“
