Qualifications: I have been married to my beautiful wife, Diana, for the last 28 years, and I am father to daughter and son Kristen and Mark Voegele. I am willing to serve and listen to the taxpayers. Lifelong resident of Granite City. Previous IHSA and collegiate soccer official. Previous owner and operator of Ravenelli's Restaurant.

Top issues: I believe in the people of Granite City, and am committed to bringing common sense to our government. We need a government where successful businesses and jobs flock to Madison County rather than struggle and flee. I will find ways to decrease tax levies and property tax rates, create and honor responsible budgets, provide customer service that is taxpayer oriented, merit based, transparent and accountable. I will create and encourage a business friendly environment that attracts and keeps jobs and businesses profitable.
