In a June 8 Facebook post, Rep. Travis Weaver (R-Pekin) thanked his constituents who attended the Lemonade & Legislation event at Kewanee Public Library.
“A huge thank you to all who joined Senator Neil Anderson (R-Aledo) and me at our first Lemonade & Legislation at the Kewanee Public Library last night! It was great to meet everyone, answer questions, and have meaningful conversations about how we can improve our communities and our state,” he wrote on Facebook. “Our next Lemonade & Legislation will be next Thursday, June 15th, at Sunset Hills Golf Course & Eatery in Pekin! The event starts at 6pm, and refreshments will be served. Looking forward to seeing you there!”
The Sunset Hills Golf Course and Eatery is located at 1620 Summit Drive in Pekin. The Sunset Hills Eatery was formerly known as Mashie’s Pub, and serves a variety of sandwiches and burgers, wraps, soups, salads, and appetizers.
In May, Weaver issued a statement on the passage of the 2023-2024 fiscal year budget, which had no Republican support.
“Finally, after four months of being in session, well-past their own self-imposed deadline, we finally received the budget from the Governor and the majority party," Weaver said. "Republicans were left out of budget talks, and taxpayers are completely left in the dark on how their money is being spent. They deserve better than what they received during this budget process.”
He also recently mourned the loss of Pekin Police Officer Daniel Graber. He said: “An unspeakable tragedy. I'm heartbroken to learn of this brave officer’s passing, and we thank him for his incredible service to Pekin and the community. Please keep him and his family in your prayers as we all try to process this devastating loss.”
Weaver represents the 93rd District. He has lived in Peoria County nearly all his life. He attended the University of Alabama and earned a Bachelor of Art in Finance and Marketing from the University of Alabama, then a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University. He has worked at Caterpillar in Finance and Strategy positions, and has been part of several local startup businesses.
