Nicole La Ha of Homer Glen was selected to fill the vacancy in the 82nd Illinois House District following the Dec. 8 resignation of John Egofske, who serves as mayor of Lemont.
Nicole announced her candidacy for the House Seat in September, shortly after Egofske announced his intention to not seek election in 2024.
"Nicole La Ha brings an exciting blend of passion, dedication, and leadership to the 82nd District," stated House Republican Leader Tony McCombie.
"Her commitment to children, public safety, and advocacy for inclusivity is inspiring and she will work toward solutions that will bring positive change and economic growth to the 82nd District," Leader McCombie concluded.
Nicole La Ha lives in Homer Glen with her husband Dr. Christopher Zwiercan, and their two children.
