Poling, both running for two year terms.
Mary Kay and Larry were instrumental in ushering the park district
through a very difficult period in much of 2013 and 2014. Their
integrity, insight and courage were key to the district’s turnaround
and return to the award-winning recreation agency we have always known
– the agency our community deserves.
As new commissioners, Rob and Mimi have made the board fully
productive and functional once again. Each brings thoughtful
perspective and keen intelligence to what can be a challenging
position.
All four of these dedicated public servants are to be thanked for
volunteering so much of their time, talent, and energy to the
Plainfield Park District. Please support them on April 7th.
Thank you.
State Senator 49th District
