Never doubt what is achievable when Americans unite around a common goal. Fifty years ago, unity helped us put a man on the moon. Through unity, we will once again achieve the unthinkable and ensure America's best days are always ahead of us.

Chairman Dan Cronin and I were honored to invite the NAACP DuPage County Youth Council to Tuesday’s County Board meeting. These bright young leaders represent the best of our community. We must do all we can to encourage young people to get involved in public service.

It was my honor to represent DuPage at the 2019 National Association of Counties Conference and accept a national Achievement Award on our county’s behalf. DuPage continues to be a nationally recognized leader that sets the bar for good governance.

It was also great to spend time with my friends and colleagues Jim Healy, Sheila Rutledge, Grant Eckhoff, Sadia Gul Covert, Rich Jorgensen, Adam Johnson, Joe McCoy, Matt Prochaska and Toni Preckwinkle.

We must do all we can to serve those who sacrificed for our freedom. I attended the first ever DuPage Veterans Resource Fair to discuss how County government can continue to assist current and former members of the US Armed Forces and their families.
