Mary Beth Canty

Last week in Springfield was such a busy week. Affordability, data privacy, and Women’s issues, are just some of the many things that I am committed to here in Springfield to fight for you everyday.

For today’s post: 2026 is all about affordability! In Springfield, we are doing all that we can to help make daily life more affordable for everyone. #aroundil54 #illinois #arlingtonheights #wheeling #buffalogrove #palatine #mountpropsect #prospectheights

Honored to be able to speak at the vigil for Alex Pretti at Dunton Park in Arlington Heights. Thank you to @nwsofa and @indivisibleil for organizing this meaning gathering. #Around54#arlingtonheights

I am proud to be a part of the signing for The Clean & Reliable Grid Affordability Act. The bill lowers electric costs by expanding solar power use, boosting battery storage, improving energy efficiency, helping Illinois families & businesses while curbing rising electric prices

So great to attend the City Club meeting last week. The @speakerwelchil gave a great speech on democracy,as it coincided with the 5th anniversary of Jan 6th. 2026 is a year to focus on protecting Democracy, we will do everything we can to make sure every vote counts.
