As your representative on the county board I believe it is my responsibility to work with the Chairman of the board, fellow board members, and department leaders to provide the quality of services that are expected in Kane County. There are many opinions as to which services should be provided and to what level, and these discussions can be difficult to navigate. While balancing these requirements, we as the board must also plan for the future–not just tomorrow, but for years to come. This requires insight as well as vision. 22 years of public service has given me the experience and ability to build consensus with my fellow elected officials and staff members, provide for the needs of the county I serve, and steward the tax dollars from the citizens of Kane County.
