A legislator who works ceaselessly

I have known Pamela Althoff for over 15 years now. I knew her first as a friend, later as a colleague. A friend is a person you can spend time with and be yourself and vice versa. A friend is someone who has your back, and someone who cares.

We found we have a lot in common for our love of public service, helping people navigate their government and making sure their voice was heard whether in the majority or the minority.

When she became Senator, I was a legislative assistant to our State Representative and we began to work together. When I became Chairwoman of the County, we were able to accomplish much good for our citizens - road improvements settle boundary disputes, work for continued funding of our social services, and cut McHenry County's portion of your tax bill.

I have never seen or known anyone else of her caliber in putting people before politics. She works ceaselessly and tells it like it is whether she agrees with you or not. We cannot afford to lose Pamela in Springfield.
