Responsiblity and Transparency

As some of you may know, I have been actively working in the community to oppose a high-density development on the former Channing YMCA property in my historic neighborhood of the Elgin Historic District.

After experiencing frustration with local government first hand, I thought I could effect more change by becoming even more active in the community! "If you can't beat them, join them." During my campaign I learned a lot about my fellow citizens and became discouraged.

I asked the question - what can my government do for me? WHATEVER I contribute and work to make a difference!

One person CAN make a difference- but you need to participate in any way, large or small!

Why the Green Party?

Core values truly reflecting ours.
Our History.
Our founding fathers never intended this country to be run by only two dominant political parties. In the last few years I have found both parties to be practicing politics for politics stake and NOT for what they should be doing - serving their constituents. They have lost their values and in the process, the very reason this country was founded.
