Bill's Mission

 I am a retired IBEW Local 134 Journeyman Wireman (A-Card electrician) with a lifetime career in the trades. Over the years, I worked with the City of Chicago, private contractors, and served as a hall-appointed steward. Before that, I was a concrete laborer with Local 25. I’ve always worked in the trades—and I understand firsthand the value of hard work, fair wages, and strong representation for working people.

 I grew up in a household on public aid, so I understand the importance of social programs that help families get back on their feet. At the same time, I’ve seen how these programs can be misused, creating cycles that hold people back instead of lifting them up. That perspective shapes my belief in responsible, effective support systems—ones that truly help people move forward.

 I am a moderate—a Kennedy Democrat—who believes in common sense, balance, and putting people before politics.

Today’s political climate is too divisive. Extreme voices on both sides are drowning out the majority. I believe most people want practical solutions, respectful dialogue, and leadership that focuses on results—not rhetoric.

If elected, I will:

• Advocate for working men and women and their families 
• Support seniors 
• Fight for individuals with special needs 
• Focus on real issues that impact our communities

 I am the father of a special needs adult daughter, and I am deeply involved in her care and advocacy. Through this experience, I’ve gained a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by the special needs community—the need for services, and the reality of how often those services fall short.

I actively volunteer at Misericordia Homes in Chicago and am involved with Park Lawn, continuing my commitment to supporting individuals and families who need it most.

I am a resident of Mokena and have also lived in Homer Glen. I know this district well, and I understand the concerns of the people who live here.

I do not believe our district is currently being fairly or effectively represented.

-Taxation

Over-taxation is one of the biggest issues we face—especially property taxes. Residents are paying more and more, yet the level of services doesn’t match the revenue being collected.

We need accountability and better management—not higher taxes.

-Smart Use of Public Funds

There is too much waste and not enough focus on where funding is truly needed.

I believe:

• Taxes do not need to be raised 
• Existing revenue can be allocated more responsibly 
• Public safety and essential services must be properly funded 

-Growth & Infrastructure

Rapid growth in our district has increased demand on public services.

We must address:

• Strain on police and emergency services 
• Budget priorities in criminal justice and public safety 
• Long-term planning for sustainable growth 

-Affordable Housing

A lack of affordable housing is a growing concern. Families and seniors are being priced out of the communities they helped build.

We need practical solutions that keep our communities accessible and stable.
