Oak Park Arms Senior Living will host a lunch and learn with Richard Boykin, Democratic candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 7th District at 11 a.m. on Friday, November 21, 2025. The event will provide a direct forum for the community to engage with the former Cook County commissioner on issues critical to the district. The lunch and learn is free and open to the public.
The event will focus on Boykin’s commitment to addressing public safety, ensuring quality healthcare and social services for seniors, and leveraging his federal experience to secure necessary appropriations and programs for the 7th District.
Boykin brings decades of government experience to the campaign, having served as Chief of Staff and Legislative Director for former U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis and as an elected Cook County Commissioner for the 1st District.
During his tenure as Commissioner, Boykin was a vocal advocate for government transparency and successfully secured over $42 million in county funds for community investment. He also aggressively pursued practical measures to reduce gun violence and championed reforms, including a ban on county law enforcement officials using chokeholds.
