In 2005, the people of Elgin Township placed their trust in me by giving me a term as Trustee following a very hard fought election. Over the last seven years, a great deal has changed. I left my public sector position with the IL House of Representatives in order to pursue a career in the housing industry. I purchased my first home like most young adults at the height of the housing market, and have fought to keep it after the bubble burst. A few years ago, I married the love of my life. A month ago, she gave me the great gift of all... a healthy little boy we named Robbie.
With the challenges I've faced have come new perspective on many of life's issues. One thing that has not changed, however, is my passion for our community. It's only intensified. I've now seen first hand how government can decimate a business' ability to create jobs. I drive through the same communities where I grew up, and see a future for my family.
A lot has changed in 7 years, but the Kojzarek family remains committed to public service.
