From Racine11
July 3, 2009
Dear Friends,
I grew up in Racine. Things like the Case tractor in my grandfather's barn and the original Johnson parquet floor in my dad's law office gave me a real sense of Racine's historic roots. We have an amazing past populated with figures like Gilbert Knapp, William Horlick, J. I. Case, and S. C. Johnson. We may have suffered some setbacks and some of the industries that built this great city may be gone, but the spirit that built Racine is alive and well.
We have made some real progress and Racine has a bright future ahead of it. I look forward to building it with you. I am humbled by the trust you have placed in me. As your Alderman, I will work hard to live up to that trust.
If there is anything I can do for you or if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
