Message from Marty Like you, I am a proud resident of northwest Illinois. I am Marty Mulcahey and we share a common bond . . . a bond of family and community, living here among the rolling hills, farms, cities and villages of northwest Illinois. I look forward to working on your behalf to make our lives even better! As a community, we need to begin working together by putting aside political differences. By bridging the gap between Republicans and Democrats, we can lay the groundwork for progress in northwest Illinois with "A New Generation of Leadership" for the future of our children. The challenges which lie before us range from jobs, transportation, and economic development to education, health care, energy, and agriculture. Regardless of traditional party affiliation, these are issues which affect us all. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and Greens alike share common problems which cross social, ethnic, gender, and party lines. I pledge that when elected your Senator, I will work on behalf everyone for the betterment of us all. We've had many great leaders from all walks of life who have served us well. I look forward to following the footsteps of Senator Sieben; I respect his work and admire the job he has done as our Senator. His retirement offers an opportunity for me to continue the good work he has begun. I believe I am the person who can make the most of this opportunity, for your family and for mine. Please take time to review my web site to learn about me, my agenda, and opportunities which I believe will benefit us all. - Thank you.
