How can Lake County serve you better?

I am honored to be the County Board representative for District 13, which includes the Village of Lake Bluff and areas within Great Lakes, Waukegan, Libertyville, Gurnee, and unincorporated Grayslake.

During my campaign, I learned a lot by going door to door and speaking with you and your neighbors at coffees and local events. I know how important it is to keep in touch. As your representative, I will continue to communicate directly with you to keep you informed of upcoming events and issues, and hear your position about the things that affect you. If you have meetings in your neighborhood that you would like me to attend, or if there are concerns in your community that I should know about, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach me at 224-212-0331 or smhart@lakecountyil.gov.

Together we can make sure that Lake County remains a wonderful place to call home.

Sincerely,
