Welcome to my website! Here you will find various resources and links to organizations that are useful sources in our communities.  As a state legislator I am committed to education, providing access health care to all, tax reform, and creating an overall prosperous environment for all constituents, not just in my district but in Illinois.  As a legislator it is my duty to represent my district and the constituents that have elected me to this great office.  I am committed to restoring integrity and streamlining ethical behavior in government once again.
Since taking the first oath as a state representative in 2007 my energy has been concentrated on bringing more resources and organizations to my district.  My legislative priorities are assisting children, seniors, veterans, and the everyday working person to better the quality of life for all.  Pioneering early childhood initiatives and funding local pre-school organizations has been at the top of my agenda.  I am proud to represent hard working families whose industrious spirit makes our country truly great.

As a former employee of District 99 I have been at the forefront of the education issues that affect our students today.  Education is an issue close to my heart, and one in which I concentrate much energy in Springfield.  Securing better funding, promoting service and learning, and making sure our students have the tools to succeed, is my main mission.   Access to higher education should be open to every student the only prerequisites should be enthusiasm, willingness, and a thirst for knowledge. 

I welcome your feedback, comments, and ideas.  As a public official I am committed to working in behalf of my community and engaging the public in the legislative process.  As we move on and work at a better future, I look forward to working with many of you.  Once again welcome and I hope you enjoy navigating the website.
