Trivia Night with Michele Clark
February 12, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Alter Brewing + Kitchen, 12 S 1st St, St. Charles, IL 60174, USAI’m Michele Clark, a former small business owner, a nonprofit leader and a mom of two daughters. I’m running for State Senate to make Illinois more affordable for working families – because I know the struggle of making payroll, paying high property taxes and raising kids in this economy. With a passion for service and a desire for practical solutions, I’ll work to lower costs, protect women’s rights and ensure every child, regardless of income or ability, has the support they need to thrive.
We’re hosting a trivia night at Alter Brewing + Kitchen in St. Charles.
The campaign will be providing food and beverage for all ticket holders. Come join the fun!
