Welcome, my name is David Sheppard. I'm a father, son, and husband. I love my family and I love this great state, Illinois. As a veteran, I served the United States in the Navy. In Illinois, I served my Community as a Police Officer for almost three decades. I now want to serve Illinois as your next State Representative in the 36th District. When I am elected, I will serve every Illinois resident, regardless of race, religion, or political party. We all love our children and family. Our neighbors and friends. We have seen too many of them flee this state after the governor shutdown this state, causing businesses to fail and residents to lose their jobs and homes. As a Police Officer, I have seen what crime has done to our families and communities. It’s time for leadership that will not criminalize Police work, but instead hold criminals accountable for their actions. I will create civil and criminal liabilities for those who release dangerous criminals, only for them to later commit murder and other hideous crimes. We need to combat the criminals and take back our streets.
  • I plan to reduce crime and support our police
  • i plan to fight for the preservation of parental rights
  • i plan to expand mental health research
All areas but mostly restoring Illinois back to the great state it once was by utilizing the Voice of the People.
To see Illinois as a better state for my child and grandchildren.
