(ST. REP. BRAD HALBROOK AND DALLAS BEAR)
There's a new face in St. Rep. Brad Halbrook's Effingham office to help area residents with state-related issues and concerns.
Dallas Bear will be on hand fulltime in the office, located at 304 East Jefferson Avenue, Suite A.
Dallas and wife Lori live in Effingham where they have raised their four children. He has experience helping area residents navigate state services in neighboring St. Rep. Adam Niemerg's district office.
Bear said he's ready to help local families and seniors work through a wide range of issues from Medicaid to Firearm Owners ID cards.
Halbrook said, "Dallas was a great help to families in Rep. Niemerg's district, and now he's ready to help families here in the 107th."
Rep. Halbrook's Effingham office is open Monday through Friday, and Dallas can be reached at 217-342-0220. In addition, the Shelbyville office continues to be open by appointment at 217-774-1306.
