Trust is earned by action. Using the word in a Cook County mission statement does not make it so.

On March 14 of this year, Kamala visited Minnesota. She could have toured a farm, a mine, a taconite plant, or small business. But no, instead she visited an abortion clinic, misnamed as Planned Parenthood. NBC stated proudly that she was likely to be the first vice-president to visit a clinic that performs abortions. Of course, her action was to cement Kamala’s and the Democrat Parity’s dark obsession with the need to terminate the lives of innocent unborn humans.

The article written by Cook County Highway Engineer Robbie Kimmel-Hass in last week's Cook County News Herald is a “gem” that the residents and folks that use the Croftville Road for recreation were waiting for. It indicates to us that he is lacking in common sense as a virtue in his background as an engineer. He spends a lot of time on the inconsistencies with the past practices for setting “speed limits” on curves on county highways. He uses the Gunflint Trail as an example. I have always thought that the suggested speed sign on curves was not the speed limit but a winter road recommendation that can be safely increased in the summer. I don't think these 'inconsistencies' create safety issues for road users.

As I write this, several pieces to the issue of my candidacy have yet to be answered, but you, voters in District 4 particularly, need to know and prepare for the chance to file for a commissioner seat.
