It is imperative that I remain a voice for our community on the local level, by involving all government bodies, state and federal of the need to create employment for all citizens.

Do you believe the current way Illinois pays for education is working? If so, why? If not, why not? What would you change?
No. The way that Illinois currently funds education is on the back of the taxes of homeowners. Education should be funded by every facet governed by the state of Illinois, which would assist in alleviating the heavy burden on homeowners.
Would you make any changes of the budget of the governing unit to which you are seeking elected office? If so, what?
Yes, I would like to see an increase for our homeowner’s tax rebate, and more funding for our youth programs.
Are there any other issues you want to bring to the public’s attention? If so, what?
I would like to see an increase in elected officials and business owners combining their efforts to increase employment opportunity for the residents of Country Club Hills.
