She has dedicated the last 12 years of her career to promoting the civic engagement of new Americans in the southwest suburbs and throughout the state.

She will focus on education, jobs, and empowering the voices of youth and families in the district. “Bolingbrook and this district embraced me and my family when I first moved here at the age of 12. I want to continue and strengthen that legacy for the next generation.” Dagmara is a product of the community that she seeks to represent. 


The 85th Legislative District stretches from the Fairmont area, to Lockport, Romeoville, Bolingbrook, and into part of Woodridge.
