Pledges to ‘make difficult decisions’

This November, the people of the 90th District will have a choice between two very different candidates. The person elected to serve this district will be given the task of representing the people of this district for the first time.

I believe the people of this district deserve a representative who will serve this district without the distraction of working another job. I believe this is especially true considering both candidates would be new to the General Assembly. The people of this district need a representative who will serve their interests in Springfield without distractions. 

If elected, I will leave my current employment at Northern Illinois University, and devote my full attention to the people of the 90th District and the duties of state representative. I will not receive a salary from an employer, looking to influence votes in Springfield. My opponent has decided he can adequately serve you, the people of this district, while holding onto his current job.
