State Representative Mike Coffey (R-Springfield) continued his outreach to local businesses in the 95th District as part of his “Mike on Main Street” business tours. His latest visit was to Illuminative Strategies, a management consulting firm that recently opened a second location in Springfield. The company focuses on operational excellence and performance management, aiming to improve efficiency within government agencies at various levels across Illinois.

During the visit, Rep. Coffey met with Kent James, Executive Director of Illuminative Strategies, to discuss how the firm's work impacts state agencies. According to Coffey, "I have constituents call into my office daily, and one of the most common requests I hear is needing help navigating through the red tape to get information they need. The team at Illuminative Strategies is ultimately helping the citizens of Illinois. The processes they implement to improve internal processes benefit our economy and workers alike."

Illuminative Strategies was founded in 2015 and has grown to nearly 60 employees based in Springfield. The firm works on reducing wasteful spending and streamlining government operations.

Coffey represents Illinois’ 95th House District, which includes parts of Sangamon County such as portions of Springfield and the villages of Chatham and Rochester, as well as areas in Macon and Christian Counties. He was elected to the Illinois State House in 2023, succeeding Tim Butler.
