Lauzen a proven, trustworthy steward

Given the escalation of negative mailings and radio ads from millionaire Jim Oberweis, I felt compelled to write a recommendation for Chris Lauzen for the 14th U.S. House District.

I am not quite sure what is driving Jim Oberweis to pursue this position other than that he failed to get elected as senator or governor.

I know he believes he has good intentions and a plan. I just don't think those intentions include listening to what his constituents have to say.

Can you imagine a millionaire returning a phone call to talk about your issue? Chris Lauzen is a known entity. He is one of the most accessible elected officials I know. An e-mail or phone call will get a prompt response, often from Chris, not a staff member.

Chris champions the issues that are near and dear to my heart and wallet, curbing wasteful government spending and improving the business climate of Illinois for small business growth. He is a trustworthy steward of our tax money and experienced in government.

What more could anyone ask of a public servant?
