NAME:  Jarett Sanchez

POSITION FOR WHICH YOU ARE A CANDIDATE:

Kane County Board District 24

1.  Why are you seeking this position?

I want to be a real voice for the people. I want to use my unique skills and perspectives to encourage trust in government while empowering the community.

  1. What experience and background do you have which qualifies you for this position?

I’ve had experience working on or with various groups and boards for years. I understand that this job is often more about understanding people than it is about party affiliation. I’ve learned a lot about human interactions in group formats from my mother, an expert union negotiator. Some of my favorite books are those written by success gurus and entrepreneurs, and what I learn from them will bring me a long way in this position.

3.  What will be your greatest challenge if elected?

Establishing myself as a serious representative and not a simple opposition candidate. The Board knows me from my work with the anti-Longmeadow groups, but I have no intentions of coming on and being an oppositional member. This job is about much more than a transportation project, and the first couple months will be me getting the Board to see that I understand this.  I want to make my district proud!

Release for publication? YES

I will attend the forum? YES
