Erica Larkin

Erica, a McLean County resident for over 15 years, is actively involved in various community groups advocating for mothers, families, and children. With a degree in Economics from Illinois State University, she previously worked as an internal auditor at State Farm, specializing in bank laws and regulations, assessing risks, and reporting discrepancies to the board of directors. Currently, she serves as a parent liaison at Easterseals and substitutes at Brigham Early Learning in the Unit 5 school district.

In 2018, Erica welcomed her first child after facing four miscarriages. Her firsthand experience with women's healthcare complexities fueled her passion for advocating for women at all life stages. In 2020, she had her second child, born prematurely at 34 weeks with a limb difference, leading to an unexpected diagnosis. This experience furthered her involvement in Early Intervention programs in Bloomington-Normal, strengthening her commitment to community service.

Looking ahead, Erica aims to leverage her experience and empathy by serving on the McLean County Board, particularly hoping to contribute to the Health Committee.
