My name is Fred Nimke and I am running for the position of LaSalle County Board member, 25th District. The 25th district encompasses portions of Streator's Bruce Township precincts #6, #7, #8, and #9 along with Otter Creek Township precinct #3. These five precincts are located in the Northeast part of town.

       I reside on Sharon Road in Streator. I'm blessed to have three children and three grandchildren who all live in LaSalle County.

       I became an apprentice Union Carpenter in 1973 and I retired in 2010. During the last 21 years of my career, I was a Business Representative for my Local Union. When America was attacked on 9-11-2001, our Local Union decided to do our part to help by hosting a bi-monthly Blood Drive that I chair and which we are still hosting. In my retirement, I’m still volunteering and donating my blood at this life saving event. So far, we have exceeded 4,200 units of blood collected. I also volunteer with the Streator Ramp Builders and with the Streatorland Food Pantry.

       My goal as your County Board representative is to support and encourage Economic Development and more Affordable Housing, to address Pedestrian Safety on truck routes in our communities, and to push for more Transparency in all County Board actions.

       I feel that my experience in the local construction industry, my caring for those in need and my commitment to try to make LaSalle County a safer, more desirable and less expensive place to live makes me your candidate of choice.

       I promise to be a Voice on the County Board and not just an Echo. I will work to find fair solutions to stop the never-ending property tax increases. If you have any issues that need to be addressed, I will be your voice on that issue.

Please remember, I cannot be there without Your Vote.

Thank You

Fred Nimke
