About Peter Deep Roots in the District Peter Roskam's roots in the Sixth Congressional District go back to Hill Avenue in Glen Ellyn where Peter lived as a toddler. Forty years later, surrounded by his family and friends, he announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives on the same leafy street where he grew up. The seed of interest in government was planted by his fourth grade teacher, Miss Lillian Anderson, at Ben Franklin Public School. Peter completed his "Illinois" project folder and still carries it with him to school classrooms when he visits today. His years in growing up in the district were punctuated by experiences that left a lasting impression on him. He started a house cleaning service, served as Student Senate President at Glenbard West High School and was a varsity gymnast. He even bicycled across America - from San Diego to Virginia Beach. To Washington and Back Again Peter earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois and his law degree from IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. He took a hiatus from his legal studies to teach in a cross-cultural high school in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He pursued his interest in public policy and government and moved to our nation's capitol where he worked for Congressman Henry Hyde (R-IL) and former Congressman Tom DeLay (R-TX), then in his first term. It was during these years on Capitol Hill that Peter met his wife Elizabeth. They decided to move back to Illinois and raise a family. He served as Executive Director of Educational Assistance Ltd., a nonprofit scholarship program for disadvantaged youngsters. The organization received President Reagan's Volunteer Action Award. Leadership in Springfield In 1993 Peter was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives where he served six years. In 2000, he was appointed to the Illinois Senate and serves in the leadership as the Republican Whip and Floor Leader. He has received numerous awards from business and anti-tax organizations to health care and pro-family organizations. He has also earned the praise of environmental and law enforcement public policy groups for his community leadership. Priorities in Congress Congressman Peter Roskam was endorsed by Congressman Henry Hyde as his successor to the seat he has held for the last 32 years. In his endorsement Congressman Hyde said, "Peter is an energetic, compassionate, sensitive person. He has been a leader, not a follower in the legislature.” In Congress, Roskam's priorities include providing tax relief for hard working families, promoting energy independence and expanding access to quality affordable heath care. Finally, Congressman Roskam is our local advocate in our nation's capitol. He grew up in this district and has represented the suburbs for 13 years in the legislature. He and Elizabeth are raising their four children, Gracey, Frankie, Steve and AJ, in the district. His record of accomplishments is long and his commitment to this district is reflected in the experiences he had growing up locally. Roskam was recognized as a “Rising Star” by the Chicago Sun-Times and Roll Call. The Daily Herald described him as an “avowed fiscal conservative who could lay claim to the anti-tax mantel.” In just his second term, Congressman Roskam was appointed to serve on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.  As one of the nation's oldest committees, Ways and Means oversees taxes, health care, Social Security, Medicare, and trade.  This wide scope of jurisdiction makes it the most influential committee in the House of Representatives. Roskam also serves as Republican Deputy Whip.

In the early 1970s, when Kim was three years old, his parents left South Korea for America in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their children. It is a familiar American story but one that cannot be told enough. They left friends, family and jobs to pursue that American dream of higher education, success and prosperity. They arrived in the northern suburbs of Chicago and were quickly enveloped by the kindness and goodwill of strangers—many from the Asian-American community who had made the same journey themselves. And over the years, America gave them what it had promised and allowed them to give Steve a solid education as the foundation for his own success in life. Today, Steve is the first Asian American candidate for Attorney General in Illinois history.

About Judy

A lifelong Illinois resident, Judy Biggert combines a wealth of experience as a legislator, lawyer, community leader, and small business owner to serve the suburban Chicago residents of Illinois' 13th District in the US House of Representatives.

As the only Republican member of the Illinois delegation on the Education and Workforce Committee, Judy worked to help craft the No Child Left Behind Act, which included her bill to nearly double annual funding for homeless education programs. She is the sponsor of legislation to promote financial literacy among our youth and she wrote legislation, now law, to increase funding for the training of math and science teachers.

As co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues, Judy worked to improve funding for women's health research, victims of dating violence and child care assistance for low income families. In 2001, she introduced legislation that expands legal assistance for victims of domestic violence and worked with the Bush Administration to pass a bill that fast-tracked money to Afghan women and children for their basic health and educational needs.

In the 110th Congress, Judy is a member of three committees -- Education and Labor, Financial Services, and Science and Technology -and of six subcommittees. She serves as ranking member of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit.

As a member of the Committee on Science and Chairman of the Energy Subcommittee, Judy has helped strengthen our country's basic science research facilities, including Argonne National Laboratory, located in her congressional district.

Cited by Glamour as one of the "New Female Power Players" and by Fortune as one of "The Picks of Congress' New Litter," Judy met and matched expectations. Shortly after her election in 1998, she was selected as the only Member-Elect to serve on the Congressional Delegation to the White House Conference on Social Security. Judy was also the only freshman Member of Congress to be named Vice-Chair of two subcommittees. During her first term in office, two of her initiatives became law: the Cybertipline legislation made it easier to report and track down computer-based sex crimes against children, and another bill that increased penalties for traffickers of club drugs such as Ecstasy.

Judy began her legislative career in 1992, when she was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives to serve the newly created 81st District. She became the first member of the Illinois House in the 20th century to be named to leadership after serving only one term. She was reelected in 1994 and 1996.

While serving in the Illinois General Assembly, Judy's work on state economic initiatives, such as tort reform, property tax cuts, and balanced budgets without tax increases earned her top ratings from the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB). For her work to protect the children and families of Illinois, she was named "Woman of the Year" in Government, Politics and Civic Affairs by the DuPage YWCA in 1996 and was inducted into the Hinsdale Central High School Hall of Fame in 1997 for her leadership in education.

Judy Baar Topinka is running for State Comptroller to put her experience, integrity, and sound judgment back to work for the people of Illinois. As Comptroller she’ll bring those old-fashioned values of hard work, plain talk, and common sense back to Springfield.

Judy Baar Topinka was elected Illinois State Treasurer on November 8, 1994 – becoming the first woman in Illinois history to hold this post. She also became the first Republican to be elected State Treasurer in 32 years. Topinka made history again in November 1998, as she won a second term as State Treasurer – becoming the first woman to be re-elected to a statewide office. Winning re-election to a third term as Illinois State Treasurer in 2002, Topinka became the first State Treasurer to win three consecutive terms.

As State Treasurer from 1995-2007, Judy maintained a strong record of fiscal responsibility. During her tenure, the state earned record amounts of income on investments, money that helped to alleviate the tax burden on working families and made state government run more efficiently. Under her leadership, the Treasurer’s Office helped create and retain more than 13,000 new jobs through an innovative linked deposits program; developed the nation’s largest agriculture loan program for farmers, and helped more that 120,000 families save for college by creating one of the most affordable college savings programs in the nation.

A recognized and respected fiscal conservative and taxpayer watchdog, Judy consistently spoke up when she believed public officials were acting irresponsibly. When Rod Blagojevich wanted to raid state funds, Judy stood up to him and refused to make the transfers.

As the granddaughter of immigrants, Judy learned from a very young age to respect the hard work and sacrifice that families all across Illinois make each and every day in order to make life better for their children. Judy’s parents were small business owners who taught her the importance of living within your means and managing money responsibly; a lesson our broken state government would be apt to learn today.

The Early Years

Born in Riverside, Illinois on January 16, 1944, Judy Baar Topinka graduated from the Ferry Hall School in Lake Forest in 1962, and earned a B. S. degree in 1966 from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. Upon graduation, Topinka established herself as an accomplished journalist in the Cook County suburbs, including eleven years as a reporter and editor for several award-winning community newspapers.

She served as a public affairs executive with the American Medical Association and as a public relations advisor to area political candidates and organizations.

A Recognized Leader

After a successful career in journalism, Topinka began her political career as a State Representative from the Western Suburbs in 1980. Serving two terms in the Illinois House of Representatives positioned Topinka for a successful bid for State Senate in 1984 – where she served as State Senator for a decade. Topinka continues to serve locally as the Riverside Township Republican Committeeman.

A Dedication to Public Service

Since leaving public office nearly three years ago, Judy has continued to use her knowledge and background to help Illinois residents. In 2008, she established a not-for-profit financial counseling agency that helps families facing foreclosure save their homes. Located on the West Side of Chicago, the Smart Women, Smart Money Educational Foundation (SWSM) has provided financial literacy and housing counseling to more than 1,000 Illinois families in need.

Achievements

Topinka’s achievements as a journalist and public servant have earned her awards from more than 250 civic, business, professional and social service organizations, including the “Molly Pitcher” Award (1994); The Prairie Institute’s Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Outstanding Public Service (1998); Americanism Award from the Anti-Defamation League (1999); The Money Smart Award from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (2002); Customer Service Initiative for Unclaimed Properties–Excellence Award (2002); National Association of Woman Business Owners Chicago Area Chapter Hall of Fame 2003; the Asian American Coalition of Chicago Grand Asian Award (2003); the Department of the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal; and the AMVETS Silver Helmet Award (2003).

Topinka belongs to more than 60 business and professional organizations, including the City Club of Chicago, Government Finance Officers Association and the West Suburban Chapter of the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority – which named her one of three “Outstanding Citizens” by her National Sorority in 1994.

Topinka continues to reside in Riverside, Illinois. Her son Joseph and daughter-in-law, Christina, reside in Texas where Joseph is currently assigned as a major in the U.S. Army.

When examining his resume, one quickly realizes that there are very few elected officials in the state of Illinois with the professional and governmental experience of Senator Dan Rutherford, not to mention his love of life and eagerness to make a difference in the lives of others.

An executive with an International Company and an accomplished State Legislator, The Champaign News Gazette has said, “Dan Rutherford is right now what the Republican Party needs.”

For use when introducing Sen. Rutherford:

Dan Rutherford, the lighter side.

Legislative Accomplishments

Dan Rutherford is distinguished by a legislative career of accomplishment. He was first elected to the Illinois Senate in 2002. In 2009, he was appointed Assistant Republican Leader.  His Senate career follows a 10-year term in the House of Representatives, where he served as the Assistant Republican leader. As a member of the Senate, he is the ranking Republican serving on the Financial Institutions Committee and also serves on the bi-partisan Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.

Senator Dan Rutherford has sponsored and shaped legislation intended to help some of Illinois’ most fragile citizens. He was a leading sponsor of important legislation which fundamentally changed the formula for reimbursing nursing homes. Now, reimbursement rates are based on the medical needs of the resident, instead of their geographic location in the state. Senator Rutherford is pleased to report that the new system has resulted in better health care and services for Illinois’ treasured elderly community.

Dan has also been a consistent champion of agricultural interests, promoting legislation to enhance the use of ethanol and soy products. An avid conservationist, he is helping preserve the environment by using recycling programs in his home and offices. To date, Dan has personally planted over 16,000 trees and shrubs on his own property to promote reforestation, in addition to utilizing stream bank stabilization practices.

Senator Rutherford’s legislative efforts have resulted in many accolades from both the public and private sector. He was particularly proud to have been named Legislator of the Year multiple times, in addition to being selected as an “outstanding legislator” by numerous economic, agricultural and conservation groups, to name a few.

The Aurora Beacon News noted that “while his voting record in Springfield draws high marks with conservative [groups], he also has a decided independent streak.”

Who's Who Among Students in Universities and Colleges

The Making of a Leader: A History of Involvement

Senator Rutherford began his career as a Legislative Assistant in Springfield following his graduation from Illinois State University, where he served his school, community and fellow students as Student Body President.

At the age of 24, Rutherford coordinated a Congressional District for Governor Ronald Reagan’s campaign. Today, Dan reminisces about driving to O’Hare airport to pick up Nancy Reagan, with one security guard from the California State Police, and driving her to events in Northern Illinois, before meeting Ronald Reagan and presenting him with briefing papers when candidate Reagan came to Illinois.

Putting together one of the best Congressional area organizations in the state, Dan caught the eye of the Reagan National Campaign and was tapped to be the state-wide Executive Director of Illinois for the General Election. Illinois was the bellwether state and where Illinois went, so would the Nation. Illinois delivered for the future President and Rutherford was affirmed a Republican Star on the rise.

Following the election Rutherford was offered a position on the Presidential Transition Team. However, within a day of the offer, he received a call from Governor Jim Thompson offering him a position on his staff in Illinois. Although it was a tough decision to make, Dan opted to stay in Illinois, later stating that he knew it was the right decision because it provided him with the opportunity to join the ServiceMaster Company and serve in the General Assembly.

Reagan & Rutherford

The Business Executive

Dan Rutherford is a graduate of Illinois State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.

While on a business trip to Japan in 1984, Dan became familiar with the ServiceMaster Company. A year later he joined the company.

Rutherford eventually became responsible for expansion of the company’s businesses internationally, licensing services in Chile, Brazil, Honduras, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Guam, Venezuela, South Africa, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia, Panama, Italy, Mexico and the Philippines. He is with the company yet today, assisting with domestic regulatory matters.

On the Lighter Side

As a young person, Dan enjoyed camping, fishing and adventure. In high school he was a foreign exchange student to Barbados; after graduating from college he backpacked across Europe, and in his mid-twenties he took a few months to lead safaris in Kenya.

He learned to sail boats and crewed for numerous Chicago to Mackinaw Island races, competed in regattas off of Melbourne and cruised the southern coast of Australia.

Before his 30th birthday, Dan joined a small group of 12 adventurers and they took three months to cross Africa in their diesel Bedford truck- camping, bathing in creeks, cooking open fire meals, using sand mats to cross the Sahara, and making sure not to drink from wells that were poisoned because of the war with Libya. He began in Algeria and went south through Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Zaire and Burundi.

Having been on all the continents of the world but one, Dan was determined to get to Antarctica before his 40th birthday. With a lot of luck and a few connections, he found himself in the Falkland Islands meeting a Russian icebreaker with a group of naturalists who were exploring the continent. The former commander of Operation Deep Freeze was a member of the group, in addition to many other experienced scientists. Whales were a common sight, often accompanying the ship as it made its way through the icy waters. The breaker crushed the ice when needed. Dan has particularly fond memories of Christmas that year, which he spent floating on a tabular iceberg in the Antarctic Sound.

Always looking for excitement, Dan skydived in college and learned to fly at a relatively young age, before he decided to master scuba diving. He is an Advanced Certified Diver, logging over 200 dives. His most recent trip was to Curacao, and earlier to Saba Island. He has also taken diving trips to the Turks & Caicos, Bali, Mozambique, Cape Town and Apo Island in the Philippines.
