As commissioner I pledge to promote policies that will reduce taxes, promote small businesses and make Cook County and Chicago a more business friendly environment. The two challenges I would like to tackle are crime and taxes. The lack of relationship between the local police and the people of Chicago and Cook is a major issue. As commissioner I would work with the Cook County Sheriff and that entire department to see how we can get our police more integrated and respected in the communities they protect. We need stop companies constantly looking to leave Chicago, Cook County and Illinois. As commissioner I pledge to promote policies that would reduce taxes, promote small businesses and make Cook County and Chicago a more business friendly environment.
