Hello, my name is Jed Davis and I'm running for state representative of the 75th District, now including the United City of Yorkville. Illinois is one of only a handful of states with a statewide mask mandate. Recently, some municipalities publicly stated they're no longer enforcing this mandate. One such municipality is Elk Grove Village, located roughly 50 miles to the northeast.

The time has come for our local municipalities to follow suit as the governor's overreach only ends when we the people band together. Accordingly, this petition requests Yorkville's Mayor (John Purcell) and City Council publicly state they're no longer enforcing this mandate, allowing people the freedom of choice whether or not to wear a mask.

Community members have lived through covid for nearly 20 months and they understand the risks inherent with lifestyle choices such as wearing masks. These choices belong to people and not politicians.

Therefore, please sign this petition in support of allowing city residents and visitors the freedom of choice whether or not to wear a mask. I'll personally deliver and present the results during an upcoming city meeting.
