Why are you running for this office?

The opportunity to serve the wonderful residents of our community has always been a passion for me, as has been evident in both my professional and personal life. As a local Firefighter/Paramedic for over 25 years, I have had the opportunity to see the best and worst times for the residents in DuPage County. I have first-hand contact on an everyday basis with the real people who live here.

I also am currently serving in my 4th term in the position of Carol Stream Village Trustee. In this capacity, I am fortunate to have opportunities to speak with residents about the needs of our community. My experience and compassion in this role have allowed me to take serving our residents to a whole new level, which I hope to continue to do in an even greater role as your representative on the DuPage County Board.

What are you planning to do if you win?

I will represent EVERYONE within my District.  I will focus on the needs of our growing senior population and support policies for the working-middle class.  I will continue my track record of being fiscally responsible.  New discussions regarding the opioid crisis need to be made with the epidemic worsening, as I have seen first hand as a Firefighter/Paramedic. Protecting our environment has to be considered in every decision made. Public Safety will always be a priority. I will be transparent and available to my constituents.   I promise to serve with humbleness, honesty, and integrity.
