473

April 7, 2015 Election Results

This election is now in the books. 

After six months of campaigning, standing in front of the Zion Post Office for twelve Saturdays in a row, and knocking on over 2,000 doors all the while going on foot throughout the city in the snow and the cold for another three months, talking with hundreds of people and passing out literature. After carefully crafting opening and closing statements, detailed factual proposals, and posting videos on YouTube.

After all this outreach, and speaking and effort, listening to homeowner after homeowner decry the high taxes that they have been paying, and how they don't know if they can stay in this town.

After all this, 473 citizens had the courage to vote for something new, a vision for the future.

13.55% of the votes cast for the office of Commissioner were given to me, and to those people I am deeply grateful for the validation they gave to my efforts.

I had hoped to repay them with the next four years of dedicated service, but that is not to be.  Now that this election is finished, I will place my focus on serving the people of Zion and Winthrop Harbor as a Trustee of the Lake County Public Water District, and do my best to ensure that their water service is as safe and affordable as possible.

Beyond that, I will not speculate. The future is always filled with opportunity and possibility, we just have to have the courage to work for it.

Thank you for your support, and as always I look forward to hearing from you.
