Since retiring from the Illinois State Police after nearly 30 years, Brad has spent a lot of his time right here at home, farming alongside his family.
He got his CDL to haul grain, helps with the family operation, and even started a small farm of his own. It's hands-on work that keeps him connected to the land every day.
Brad is passionate about learning more about agriculture, not just the day-to-day, but the bigger picture of what our farmers face: input costs, markets, regulations, weather challenges, and keeping family farms strong for the next generation. Every time he's out in the field or talking with neighbors, he's reminded how vital farming is to our local economies, our communities, and the entire 36th District.
To every farmer in McDonough, Warren, Knox, Henry, Mercer, Rock Island, and beyond: Brad wants to hear from you. He knows he doesn't have all the answers, but he is committed to listening, learning, and carrying your voice to Springfield. If elected, he intends to be a strong, practical advocate for ALL the farmers in our district.
If you'd like to share your thoughts, your challenges, or your ideas, or if you'd be willing to be part of the network of folks Brad calls on as he works to represent you best, please reach out.
