I've known Mike McCormick for more years than I'd like to admit, briefly served together on the Village Board of Trustees, and I consider him both a colleague and friend. In all the years that I've known him, he's been a trustworthy, dedicated individual.

I've seen improvement after improvement in the community since Mike became Mayor of Godfrey. For instance, through his negotiations with the Madison County Sheriff's Office, Mike's improve upon the police protection contract that we had previously, helping make Godfrey one of the most safest communities in the state. As the Madison County Judiciary Chairman, I am quite informed on this subject. More importantly, as a Godfrey resident, I take comfort in this fact.

Mike has received letters of endorsement from two U.S. Congressmen, two state representatives, and the Madison County State's Attorney, as well as from numerous residents of Godfrey. This speaks volumes as to the strong working relationships he's developed over the years with people at the local, state and federal levels and on both sides of the political aisle.

I have been unimpressed with Mike's opponent. His limited experience and unrealistic promises make me wonder how he could possibly be effective. What Godfrey needs is someone with experience, knowledge and vision. We have Mike McCormick. Please join me in voting for Mike.
