Niki Conforti, the GOP candidate for Congressional District 6, is hosting a fundraising event at Emmett’s Brewing Company on Main Street in Downers Grove on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. The event aims to gather support for Conforti's campaign and provide an opportunity for the community to meet the candidate.

"See you at Emmett’s Brewery in DG next week!!" Conforti expressed her excitement about the event.

Emmett’s Brewing Company, located at 5200 Main St. in Downers Grove, will be the venue for the fundraiser. Attendees can expect hors d’oeuvres included with their tickets and have the option of a cash bar for refreshments. Tickets for the event are available for $50, and supporters also have the opportunity to become sponsors at different levels, including a GOLD Sponsorship for $1,000, SILVER Sponsorship, and BRONZE Sponsorship for $250.

Supporters can pre-pay for their tickets and sponsorships on the campaign’s official website, https://conforti4congress.com/donate/.

Conforti is seeking the GOP nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) for a second time. In the 2022 primary, Conforti came in third with 11.4% of the vote, while Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau emerged as the GOP victor with 38.7% of the vote. Pekau later lost to Casten in the general election.
