CANDIDATE STATEMENT
I'm on the McHenry County Board for one reason: to be your watchdog. Too many in government have forgotten that it's your money we're spending, but it's the only thing on my mind as I make decisions that affect all our lives. I am working to reduce the scope and reach of government to get it out of the way so our families and businesses can thrive. I am using my 25+ years of business experience to support McHenry County small businesses in order to encourage expansion and create jobs for our talented residents. Finally, I am using my relationships with our State and Federal officials to ensure our county receives our fair share of funding in order to improve our transportation infrastructure. With your support, I will continue to fight for you on the McHenry County Board and demand respect for your hard-earned tax dollars. Working together we can ensure McHenry County continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
