FLIPPABLE: Paul Stoddard for IL-HD70
My name is Paul Stoddard, and I’ve lived in northern Illinois for most of my life. After 29 years, I recently retired from Northern Illinois University, where I was a Geology professor. For the past 11 years, I have represented the eastern side of DeKalb on the DeKalb County Board. During that time, I have served on various standing committees, chairing the Finance Committee for the past 3 years. I am happy to report that with the help of county staff, and my fellow committee members, we have finally achieved a balanced budget, and we are on a path to rebuild our cash reserves. In my off time, I’m a big baseball fan, enjoy photography, and like to play trivia.
I grew up believing that we have the best form of government in the world. A government, as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently said, “of the people, by the people, for the people” – a government made up of citizens from diverse states, backgrounds, and walks of life working together to solve the problems we all face and improve the quality of life for all. I still believe that such a government is possible, but over time big money special interests and power-hungry professional politicians have corrupted that government. I am running to return that government “of the people, by the people, for the people” to the people.
