In July 2007, I was appointed as the Madison County Board Member for District 4. Dr. Robert Daiber who had previously held that position for over five years nominated me after he accepted the position of Regional Superintendent of Schools. I had always aspired to hold a political office to serve my fellow citizens, and I was very excited to accept the nomination. Dr. Daiber is also endorcing me as a candidate in the upcoming election.
As you may know, I am very proud to be born and raised in Marine, IL. I am very active in our community with such activities as coordinating the Marine Lights in the Park, volunteering at the Marine Homecoming, and participating in the local chapter of Relay for Life. I have also been involved in many other local events.
As a business owner, and someone who has been active in my community, I believe I have a good understanding of the diverse needs of the people in Madison County and will work on their behalf.
As a current Board Member, I believe in improving our schools and infrastructure and supporting our local businesses. I have made myself available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to the people of Madison County. When a neighbor had questions regarding her property tax assessment, I had her come in to my office and I explained, line by line, which amounts were County taxes and which where state taxes. I then gave her specific contact information to voice her concerns regarding the state taxes. When a neighbor had concerns of a new development near her property, I visited her and spoke with her directly about the plans so that she knew what to expect. It is this type of service that I will continue to provide as a Member of the County Board.
As you can see, I am very dedicated and excited about the opportunity to serve the people of District 4 on the Madison County Board. But, in order to continue, I must conduct a very aggressive campaign. My opponent in the primary election this February is well known in the community. But I believe the voters of District 4 deserve someone strongly committed to working towards the benefit of the entire district. This is why I am the best person to serve the people of this district.
If I can ever be of any help to you please feel free to call me personally on my cell phone: 618.520.8919, or e-mail me at ktracy99@msn.com.
Thanks in advance for your encouragement. I am very grateful for your friendship and support!
