Pick proven leader in Lauzen for 14th

With regard to the Feb. 5 primaries, I would advise fellow citizens to vote for Chris Lauzen for Congress in the 14th Congressional District.

I experienced a dispute with the Illinois Tollway and wrote letters and sent e-mails to each of my local and state representatives. No one else replied. Lauzen called me at home in the evening.

I realized how he differentiated himself from those others that are suppose to represent their constituency -- he is a leader.

As a quote from Colin Powell states: "The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."

I am convinced that Lauzen as our congressman would continue to be a leader who would help solve problems, both locally and nationally.
