Re-elect Denis Cyr…A strong voice for the 5th District

“Nearly $700 million of public and private investments are occurring in the city that can be a “game changer” and fundamentally reshape our future. The 5th District continues to be the economic driver in Peoria and needs a strong and experienced voice at the table during a time of historic investment and opportunity. I’ve provided that type of leadership during my two terms on the Council and will continue to do so with your help.”
