Mussman Renews Pledge to Advocate for Education and Human Services in House Committees

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Michelle Mussman, D-Schaumburg, will continue her advocacy for children, education and individuals with disabilities while serving on House committees for Human Services, Adoption & Child Welfare, Appropriations – Human Services and Mental Health. 

“Investing in quality education and ensuring our kids have access to excellent teachers, proven curriculum and schools that will help them succeed is critical. As a mother of three children, a former PTA president and the wife of a teacher, it is one of my top priorities to advocate for our families in Springfield and work to improve the quality of our children’s education,” said Mussman. “Committees are an important step in the process of a bill becoming a law, and I am excited to have the opportunity to use my experience to make important decisions on policies related to education, human services and other issues that impact local families.”

 During the legislative process, all bills introduced by lawmakers are assigned to a relevant committee to be debated and voted upon before moving to the House floor for full consideration. Mussman plans to prioritize legislation that will benefit individuals with disabilities, improve education and ensure access to affordable mental health services. Mussman also serves as the chair of the Elementary & Secondary Education: School Curriculum & Policies Committee.

 “I am committed to creating policies that improve our schools and ensure critical services for individuals with disabilities,” continued Mussman. “I look forward to continuing to work with community leaders, local residents and lawmakers from around the state to pass meaningful policies that will positively impact our communities and our state.”
