Darrah is honest, has integrity

Posted January 28, 2010 10:00 pm

As the former Mayor of Carol Stream, I know what is necessary to be a successful public servant. Integrity, honesty, a willingness to do what is right and not just politically popular, as well as the ability to listen to the concerns of residents, are all characteristics of a successful public servant.

In my humble opinion, candidate for DuPage County Board District Six, Paul Darrah, possesses these admirable traits any many more. This is why I am proud to endorse Paul Darrah as our next representative on the DuPage County Board.

I have known Paul since he was a youngster. He was a good kid who has grown into a good man. He is an honest and ethical man of unquestionable integrity who I am confident will serve the residents of District Six and all of DuPage County extremely well.

As Mayor of Carol Stream, I had the opportunity to work with Paul on several occasions. I always found him to be knowledgeable, dependable, hard working and committed. I am confident these traits will serve him well as a member of the DuPage County Board.

I encourage anyone who demands honest, ethical, accountable government to take my advice and cast your vote for Paul Darrah for DuPage County Board District Six on Feb. 2. You will be glad you did.
