La Ha's heart to serve on Have All Voted Who Wish

In December of last year, Illinois State Representative Nicole La Ha started her legislative service in the Illinois General Assembly. However her desire to serve her community began long before then. Her "heart to serve" emerged in childhood and has led her on a path to helping the most vulnerable in her community, first as a volunteer and then as an elected official. In 2020, La Ha was elected to the Homer Glen Village Board of Trustees. Three years later she was appointed to serve the 82nd District in the Illinois House of Representatives. As a lawmaker in the Illinois General Assembly, La Ha continues her strong advocacy for parental empowerment, putting people first when making fiscal decisions and improving inclusivity and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
