Previous offices: Monroe County commissioner

Qualifications: As a former county commissioner, retired Illinois State Police officer and Army veteran, I know how to give the best performance for the taxpayer. My life experiences well qualify me to accomplish the office of county commissioner. I am looking forward to serving our citizens and ask for your vote.

Top issues: As a fiscal conservative, I believe in a balanced checkbook and no deficit budgeting. There should never be any tax increases without the vote and consent of the people. We cannot afford to keep funding public entities. All these unnecessary expenses must be kept off the back of the taxpayer.
