Dear Voters,

Just like you, I want something better for our communities, our District, and our State. As a 30-year resident of the 53rd District, I have served in many capacities as both a volunteer and elected official. I know what it takes to work hard to effect positive change. As a 12-year member and past president of the Board of Education of Prospect Heights School District 23, I know how to reach consensus on tough issues through effective communication. I am ready to build on my reputation for honesty and integrity and represent your interests in Springfield. With your support, we will bring new energy, new ideas, and new trust to the process. Please vote for me on Tuesday, November 2.
