Bivins makes his case with voters
Pecatonica, IL- State Senator Tim Bivins spent time chatting with local restaurant goers in western Winnebago County this past weekend. Bivins saw this as a good opportunity to talk to people and spread his message of reforming business as usual in Springfield.
“Being able to talk with someone, listen to their concerns and make the right changes in Springfield is what it is all about,” Bivins said. “It is great to get the pulse of the district and see how the current conditions are affecting everyday lives.”
Senator Bivins began his meet and greet schedule with breakfast at the Stonewall Café in Pecatonica, then continued with stops in Winnebago and Durand.
“I am working hard every day to represent the interest of small business owners and their patrons,” Bivins said. “Innovative ideas can begin in community gathering places like those that I have visited today. These public forums allow people to share their concerns, and then collectively coming up with new ideas to solve problems. I have been doing more listening than talking at these stops, and that is what we need, leaders that listen to what the people want.”
Bivins also expressed that the only way for the problems to be solved is for people to come out and vote and demand their voices be heard on November 4th.
“We need to express our displeasure for the way things are going in Springfield at the ballot box,” Bivins said. “Nothing sends a message louder than showing up and voting.”
