A man of and for the people, candidate Dan Bailey deserves to serve District 4 constituents on the DuPage County Board. A registered nurse, former railroad engineer, and dedicated activist, Bailey will work conscientiously to rein in excessive spending (including out-size compensation of County Board members for part-time work); increase governmental efficiency, openness, and accountability; eliminate insider contract deals; diversify and improve transportation options; protect and improve our environment; streamline the delivery and fairness of healthcare services; and remember always to understand and represent the less as well as the more affluent in the district.
