Nerheim committed to protecting Lake County

Posted October 12, 2020 1:00 am

I am a Lake County resident since 1970, lifelong Democrat and family law attorney. My career began as a legal aid lawyer in Waukegan ensuring equal access to the justice system for people who could not otherwise afford an attorney.

It's critically important that we have a state's attorney in Lake County, the third largest prosecutor's office in the state, who actually has experience as a prosecutor.

Mike Nerheim has done an outstanding job as our State's Attorney and runs a great office focused on seeking justice, not merely convictions.

Mike is far better qualified than his opponent and strikes me as a man of honesty, integrity and compassion who is genuinely committed to our Lake County community.

Please join me in voting to re-elect Mike Nerheim as Lake County state's attorney.
