Question from Resident:  What are you going to do differently this year to get on the ballot?

Response:
 
I have spent countless hours and weeks preparing my packet for nomination for Trustee in the Village of Bolingbrook.  Last week my election attorney reviewed all my signatures and we went through the scratch process, which is removing invalid names, illegible names and addresses, or non-registered voters.  We spent time checking each heading of each sheet and proper notarizing of all signatures.  We did a thorough job on each signature sheets, leaving nothing to objections.

Prior to this, my team and I spent countless hours gathering many signatures.  The minimum this year was just shy of 300 needed and the max was just shy of 500.    We are submitting the maximum number of valid signatures. 

I have shaken thousands of hands over the past few weeks and listened to thousands of stories from residents.  The most common theme is the demand for change.  Taxes are a hot issue, bonds are on the front of residents minds, and the cut in services is upsetting many people. 

I look forward to becoming a public servant, and assisting with the change that has been long awaited in Bolingbrook.  I encourage the residents to follow the objection process to determine if change is possible in Bolingbrook, or if corruption is stopping the need for change. 

Thank you for all of the residents that signed my petitions, stopped to ask questions, or just to talk.  There are wonderful people that live in Bolingbrook and I am proud to call myself a 30 year resident!
