Stood up for children, seniors, taxpayers

Posted March 08, 2016 11:01 pm

I, along with the Daily Herald, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun Times, are endorsing Amanda Howland for Congress in 6th Congressional District. She has spent her career as an advocate, first as an educator for special needs students, then as a school administrator and now as an attorney and elected Trustee at the College of Lake County.

She has stood up for children, seniors, taxpayers and others who face personal challenges or bureaucratic obstacles. She believes the tax code needs to be overhauled and that Obamacare has problems that need to be improved. She supports a responsible federal budget, she'd like to reform student loan programs to reduce rates and ease the debt burden and she will strive to protect our civil rights. Her experience as a mediation lawyer would be a great asset in Washington.
