“I agree with the zero tolerance,” Councilman Anthony Ortiz said. "It’s being done to keep people safe, and it’s also important that the homeless know there are resources out there and we are willing to help them,” he said. #ElginIL chicagotribune.com/2024/12/1…

On Purple Heart Day, we honor the brave souls who bear the scars of sacrifice. Their courage and resilience remind us that the human spirit can soar in adversity. Let's strive for a world of peace and compassion. #PurpleHeartDay #USMC #ElginIL

Thank you to everyone who came out today to help set up the Remembering Our Fallen Memorial. We invite you to visit this tribute, honoring our Post 9/11 Veterans and paying respect to their sacrifices. Hosted at Bluff City Cemetery, Elgin, IL #ElginIL #MemorialDay2024

This morning, we attended the Elgin Area Firefighter Memorial Service, and this afternoon, we joined Elgin Public Works for their open house. @ElginIL @ElginFD #ElginIL

The photo exhibit “brought a tear and a smile” to him, Ortiz said. “I know their faces and names won’t ever be forgotten with memorials like this one.” @ElginIL #MemorialDay2024 #ElginIL chicagotribune.com/2024/05/0…

“The replica will set Elgin’s event apart from similar events in the area,” Councilman Anthony Ortiz said of the decision made at last week’s Elgin City Council meeting, where money for the art was tentatively approved. “I’m excited for this.” #ElginIL chicagotribune.com/2024/04/3…

Honoring our fallen heroes is more than a duty, it's a passion. Proud to unveil a traveling memorial with deep personal significance, bearing the names of 26 Marines, including CPL Alex Martinez. Join us this Memorial Day weekend at Bluff City Cemetery to pay tribute. #ElginIL – at Elgin, IL

Grateful to Fire & Battalion Chiefs for the insightful tour of Elgin's new Mobile Command Vehicle! Beyond emergencies, it'll be crucial for major city events like the 4th of July and Nightmare on Chicago Street. A valuable investment for our community. #ElginIL #MobileCommand – at Elgin, IL

The @ElginPD hosted its Heli-Cop-Ter egg drop this morning and it was a fantastic event. @staterepmoeller , @suzanne_for66, & I even got our Easter Bunny photos. 🐰 #ElginIL

Thank you, @WasteManagement, for the insightful tour of your transfer station in Elgin and explaining the post-collection processes. Ava even got to experience the inside of a truck, which I must say, has more buttons than an airplane's cockpit. #ElginIL #WasteManagement – at Elgin, IL

Announced new city portal for boards/commissions at council meeting—increasing transparency on attendance and openings. Forgot to thank Council Members @DustinRGood and Martínez for their help—apologies! You can check out the portal here: portal.cityofelgin.org/board… #ElginIL – at Elgin, IL

To the brave service members currently deployed during the holiday season and to my brothers and sisters who have served during this time in the past: I salute you all! My platoon Christmas 2010 in Sangin, Afghanistan. #anthony4elgin 🇺🇸 – at Elgin, IL
