NORMAL–  In looking to fill seats on the Amtrak Board of Directors, President Trump has announced three nomination intentions and Mayor of Normal Chris Koos is on the list.

In a statement from the White House, President Trump announced his intentions Monday and the Mayor has some major support.

Senator Tami Duckworth said, “As the ranking member of the subcommittee with jurisdiction over Amtrak, I applaud the decision to nominate Mayor Koos to join the Amtrak Board of Directors.

Senator Dick Durbin also offered a recommendation saying Koos will be an important voice for Illinois and the Midwest in support of growing and protecting Amtrak’s national network, and I look forward to supporting his nomination.

In addition to being the Mayor since 2003, Koos serves on the advisory board of transportation for America.
