Questions & Answers

The DuPage County coroner's office will have a new coroner for the first time since 2004. What would you do differently if elected to the office?

I will bring the knowledge and experience from over 25 years of practice to the office.

The coroner's office investigates several thousand deaths a year, yet in 2011 it publicly released information on just two cases. How would you improve transparency and public relations?

I will evaluate the issue in question and identify if there is a better way to address transparency.
