Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

1. I am a retired IBEW Local 134 Journeyman Wireman, was a hall appointed union steward, worked for the City of Chicago, and worked as a concrete laborer for a time in Local 25 before that as well.

I've worked in the trades my whole life - needless to say I support labor and the effort to organize. I grew up on public aid and went to trade school initially through the CETA program, and a few years later completed a 5 year apprenticeship program through IBEW local 134. I am father to an adult daughter with special needs, I volunteer regularly at Misericordia Homes in Chicago and am involved with Park Lawn. I am a common sense moderate. I believe that the there is today far too much divisiveness in politics on all levels, and the fringe on both sides are effectively pushing out and silencing the majority. We need to focus on what is important for the people of Will County, and not be distracted by non-issues and popular talking points.

I will represent the people of District 4 to the absolute best of my ability, with a focus on supporting and advocating for working men and women and their families, the senior community, and those with special needs. Much more can and should be done.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will tirelessly support and advocate for working people and their families, seniors, and those with special needs
• 'll work to stop unnecessary tax increases, reign in waste, and demand accountability.
• I'll work for the people, not partisan politics.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As I stated above, I have a special needs daughter that I love very much and am very involved with. I volunteer regularly at Misericordia, am involved with Park Lawn, and have communicated with various other organizations that care for those with special needs in Will County as well, so I am intimately familiar with the need for services and programs that are currently lacking. This goes for our senior community too. Much more can be done.
