Reason for Seeking Public Office:
We need elected officials who will focus on our needs and dedicate themselves to our community. We need someone who will serve as a voice for our community. I will be that person for our community. I am open to all ideas and will not draw lines or limitations based on whether ideas originated on the Republican or Democratic side. We do not need to focus on partisan politics -- we need to work together to find solutions to our problems.
Spouse's Occupation:
Her husband, George, is a high school teacher at Fenton High School in Bensenville, where he teaches US History and is a theater director.
