Thoughts on County Government

Local government should assist peoples' lives, not complicate them with extra paperwork, time or expense. Residential and commercial growth should be balanced, encompassing small businesses and farms, as well as larger retail that are consistent with the needs of the community. We must protect our natural areas and approach growth with common sense and responsibility.
Kendall County has drawn many here as a wonderful place to live, and it is my hope I will contribute to maintain our quality of life.
