Bud & District 4
District 4 is one of the most distinctive areas of McHenry County.
It includes communities shaped by neighborhoods, farms, conservation areas, small businesses, commuters, families, retirees, and residents who care deeply about quality of life.

What District 4 Needs
District 4 needs a representative who understands the balance McHenry County must strike.
We need to preserve open space, conservation lands, farms, waterways, and community character. We also need responsible growth, good jobs, a stable tax base, strong infrastructure, and support for local businesses.
Bud believes these goals can work together when leaders plan carefully, listen honestly, and evaluate decisions based on long-term public value.
