Summer isn’t over just yet, and I’m excited to share what’s happening in our community! We’ve got a Jobs Fair coming up where we will be connecting job seekers with local employers. My team of interns has been hard at work, surveying the community and collecting food pantry donations. I also have some good news for those of you who need help with professional licensure – a new professional licensure assistance form that will streamline your case.
Last month’s Mobile DMV event was a hit—thank you to everyone who came out! I’ve been busy attending events and meeting many of you across the district. Your input is always valued, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office.

Rep. Grant to Host FREE Jobs Fair in Carol Stream (August 28th)
DUPAGE COUNTY – Those looking for a new job or a new career are invited to attend a free Jobs Fair that will be hosted by State Senator Seth Lewis (R-Bartlett) and State Representatives Amy Grant (R-Wheaton) and Jennifer Sanalitro (R-Hanover Park) on August 28 in Carol Stream.
The Jobs Fair will be held from 9:00 a.m. until noon at Fountain View Recreation Center in the Carol Stream Park District, 910 N. Gary Avenue, in Carol Stream.
Inflation Strikes Again!
BACK TO SCHOOL – Inflation is hitting Illinois families hard, and the state’s decision to skip the back-to-school sales tax holiday over the past two years has only added to the burden. In 2022, parents enjoyed a temporary tax break on school supplies, clothing, and footwear, but that relief is now gone. Meanwhile, other states like Iowa and Texas continue to offer these helpful tax breaks, easing the financial strain on families. With back-to-school spending expected to average nearly $875 per child in 2024, Illinois parents are left to shoulder these costs without any support. It’s time for Illinois to put working families and students first by giving this much needed tax relief during back to school time.
Rep. Grant’s Professional Licensure Assistance Form
ILLINOIS – The Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR) is reminding individuals with certain professional licenses currently up for renewal to start the renewal process before their license expires.

My office can help with these applications. To get assistance from my team, please fill out this form on my website or call us at (331) 218-4182.
