Helmer would improve Prospect Hts. police presence

In my youth, I lived on the near west side of Chicago. Like most Italian families, we all lived within walking distance of each other and felt safe doing so. The kids would play catch with the firemen at the local firehouse. The precinct captains and even the aldermen would often be visiting our neighborhood.

But most of all, we always had a good police presence. If I lived a little further north, I would definitely vote for Nick Helmer for mayor of Prospect Heights and I urge the residents to do so. I firmly believe Mr. Helmer could and would improve our neighborhood to the north, which would make the area much better and safer.
