Bio
As a student at Illinois State University I was the Minority Student Liason for the Association of Residence Halls, I had the opportunity to interact with Elgie not only as a fellow student peer but as leader . Elgie is very astute and intuitive. He always dealt with the facts. I learned a lot just by watching. His commitment to public service is visible in his daily actions. I would recommend Elgie for any project or task.
Elgie is a consummate professional and I have had the pleasure of knowing him and working with him on occasion for approximately 8 years. Elgie is hardworking, dedicated individual who knows the Illinois budget well and who understands how Illinois state government works. He is a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend Elgie for consideration to anyone looking for representation in Illinois.
