Jehan Gordon deserves our support

As a former elected official in Peoria County, I understand the commitment and dedication that public servants must show the people they wish to represent. I believe Jehan Gordon exemplifies what we want our public servants to be. She is young and energetic and ready to get to work solving the many problems our state is facing.
As a member of the Pleasant Hill school board, a retention coordinator at Illinois Central College, and a volunteer mentor in the Peoria high schools Jehan has worked hard to improve our community and provide opportunities for our children. Once elected, Jehan will help to address problems facing our state’s economy, local residents without healthcare, and the issues facing our local schools. Jehan is committed to listening to the people of our region and will fight to ensure our voices are heard in Springfield.
Jehan Gordon is a strong voice that will represent our interests in Springfield. I hope you will join me in supporting her this November.
This letter came from an anonymous West Peoria resident who wanted to express concern and thanks:
I write this in regards to the attractive residential areas of West Peoria. I have for the past ten years gone to City Hall and called many, many times to complain about the property at 2820 West Rohman. Nothing was ever done.
A few weeks ago, a few gentlemen appeared and filled a dumpster with debris such as shrubs, trees, bushes, weeds, etc. and there stood a house!
My point here is to say no thanks to West Peoria, this property is going to look like an attractive residential area – after only ten years or more.

Wasn’t Jehan Gordon convicted of shoplifting in 2000? She’s a thief. Is this who we want our public servants to be? Thieves.
She was also ticketed for operating an uninsured motor vehicle in Champaign County on May 12, 2004. She didn’t appear at her court date on June 24, 2004 and was fined $200. The fines were paid on November 26, 2007, three years after the incident and after she entered this race.
She’s trash. Anyone who votes for her is a jerk and an advocate for thieves to represent the people in the legislature.
