It has been an honor to serve as your representative on the DuPage County Board for these last thirteen years. Over that time, I have remain dedicated to ensuring our community has had a strong voice on the many issues that affect our families. I do not take lightly the responsibility this office holds, and I thank you for your support and encouragement.
As your County Board member, I have worked hard to: hold the line on taxes; reduce the size of county government (while maintaining services); enact tough ethics reforms; improve our infrastructure; create jobs; and lead the charge in flood prevention.
I have also made public safety a top priority of my tenure on the County Board. Strong law enforcement is the cornerstone of the quality of life we enjoy in DuPage County. With your continued support, I will continue to work each and every day to make DuPage County a great place to live, work and raise our families.
