Chatham student joins Manar at Capitol

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) welcomed Chatham Glenwood Intermediate School student Bailey Zobel to the Capitol last week as part of his Future Leaders program.

Zobel, 11, of Chatham is the daughter of Mark and Elizabeth Zobel, both of whom work at Blackburn College in Carlinville. She visited the Capitol on March 26 and was accompanied by her grandparents, who were visiting from California.

The Zobels won the visit for their daughter at a fundraising event at Blackburn College.

During her visit, Bailey toured the Capitol building and accompanied Manar onto the Senate floor where she watched lawmakers debate and vote on legislation.
