Starting in my first year as a State Representative I wrote an article every week within Illinois' 89th District. It was a great district with roughly 60-40 rural-to-urban making up the 105,000 citizens. My effort with these articles was simply to inform the citizens what was happening politically in their District.

Produktbeschreibung
Starting in my first year as a State Representative I wrote an article every week within Illinois' 89th District. It was a great district with roughly 60-40 rural-to-urban making up the 105,000 citizens. My effort with these articles was simply to inform the citizens what was happening politically in their District. I started as a neophyte, and I wanted them to be informed with what I learned from serving. I saw the position as an opportunity to help the citizens of the district. I certainly lean conservative, but my efforts were always to represent the 89th district as best I could without political bias. When I started writing my articles, shortly after being elected in November 2002, I marveled at how well they were received. I was not aware of any representatives or senators who had a weekly column at that time, and I believe that mine were the impetus for several others in years to come. My effort with this book, and by utilizing the articles that I wrote throughout my eleven-year journey as a state representative, will be a "primer" for those wanting to gain knowledge of the position for whatever reason. My hope is also for you to understand why I literally loved my job. Having been an FBI Agent for 28 years prior to becoming a state representative I had always believed that I had had the best job in the world and my book "NOT IN MY WILDEST DREAMS, MEMOIRS OF A VETERAN FBI AGENT" I believe reflects my love for the job. But here I am, arguably loving this job even more than my years as a Special Agent.
