Career prosecutor with great record

Posted March 08, 2016 11:01 pm

I urge you to vote for Patrick Kenneally for McHenry County States Attorney.

I am a Republican, lawyer and former prosecutor. I have listened carefully to Mr. Kenneally's speeches and spoken with him at length. His philosophy includes the belief that criminals must be held accountable for their actions, yet he recognizes the value of addressing in specialty courts the often present underlying issues of mental health problems, alcoholism and drug addiction.

Dangerous criminals must be removed from society and Mr. Kenneally has personally accomplished that through his work as a Senior Assistant State's Attorney in a felony courtroom. Overall, Mr. Kenneally's approach is balanced, responsible and sensible.

Mr. Kenneally is a career-prosecutor with a stunning record of victories in the courtroom on large, complicated prosecutions. No wonder he has the endorsement of the sheriffs of Lake County and McHenry County, the State's Attorneys of Lake, McHenry and Boone counties.
