Paga Youth Movement congratulates Carol Ammons on re-election to Illinois House of Representatives
Paga Youth Movement has congratulated Carol Ammons, also known as Alorisongo, on her re-election to the Illinois House of Representatives, describing her achievement as a source of pride for her ancestral community.
The Paga Youth Movement (PAYOM) has congratulated Carol Ammons also known by her traditional name, Alorisongo on her re-election as the State Representative for Illinois’ 103rd House District in the United States.
In a press release dated November 10, the group said her re-election in the November 3 US midterm elections was a source of pride for the people of Paga, considering her ancestral ties to the community in the Upper East Region of Ghana.
Ammons, who was first elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 2014, was re-elected unopposed on the ticket of the Democratic Party.
The group noted that her achievement demonstrated the enduring connection between Africa and its diaspora, describing her journey in public service as an inspiration to young people, particularly girls and women aspiring to leadership positions.
PAYOM recalled that during her historic homecoming to Paga, she was given the traditional name Alorisongo, an honour it said further strengthened her connection with her ancestral homeland.
The movement also commended her contributions to placing Paga on the global map and expressed hope that her accomplishments would encourage young people to pursue excellence, leadership and public service regardless of geographical boundaries.
It wished Ammons continued success and strength as she begins another term serving her constituents and contributing to the development of the State of Illinois.
The statement was signed by Desmond Abire, Public Relations Officer of the Paga Youth Movement.
