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. I serve as Chair of the County Board's Law and Judicial Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. I also serve on these other committees: Health and Community Services, and Rules. In addition, I serve on the Lake County Community Health Center Governing Council. My main priorities are jobs and affordable housing.
