Conroy is a local volunteer, mother, and community leader from Elmhurst. She will use her spirit of service to bring common-sense solutions to some of the state's most serious challenges.

Conroy's legislative priorities include creating good-paying jobs to encourage local economic development, providing critical tax relief to homeowners and working to prevent property tax increases when home values decline, balancing the state budget and ensuring state government lives within its means, and strengthening area schools. Conroy believes that during these difficult economic times, lawmakers should lead by example by cutting their own pay.

As a local volunteer, Conroy has worked to raise money for local charities. Her most prominent project is coordinating an annual fundraiser for the Elmhurst Children's Assistance Foundation to raise money for sick and disabled children in the community.

The mother of four sons, Conroy has been active in our local schools. Conroy has worked hard to ensure accessible public education for all local students, helping to form the not-for-profit York Student Enrichment Team to help pay school fees for families experiencing financial difficulties. During her term on the District 205 School Board, she focused on ensuring special needs students were able to receive an education.

Conroy volunteers her time to her community. She taught religious education at her church for 16 years, is active in the PTA, and volunteered as an art teacher for a local preschool. Conroy also worked tirelessly to ensure special needs children were placed in a safe learning environment.

Conroy and her husband, Tim, reside in Elmhurst and have four sons.
