I’m happy and proud to serve as your District 9 County Board Member, representing portions of Waukegan and North Chicago. I’ve been on the board since 2002. In addition to serving as the Board Vice Chair, I also serve as Chair of the Law & Judicial Committee and the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, as Vice-Chair of the Reapportionment Committee and as a member of the Health & Community Services, and Rules committees. In addition, I serve on the Lake County Community Health Center Governing Council. My main priorities are jobs and affordable housing.
