Pekau for Congress has issued the following press release:
August 29, 2022 - The Downers Grove Public Library has announced a drag performance planned as part of a "Drag Queen Bingo" event on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at the library. The event is targeted to children in grades 7 -12.
Keith Pekau, Mayor of Orland Park and GOP nominee for Congress (IL-06), released the following statement in response:
“I join parents across the district in denouncing this event, just as I would denounce a library introducing kids to straight sex by holding a burlesque show. To be clear, I have no interest in regulating the private, consensual activities and decisions of adults. This event, however, targets children. It’s inappropriate, and an unacceptable use of taxpayer funds.
“Furthermore, I call on Sean Casten to join me - as a public official and as a father - in denouncing this inappropriate event and unacceptable use of public resources.”
