CANDIDATE FOR ARLINGTON HEIGHTS VILLAGE TRUSTEE ENDORSED BY FORREST CLAYPOOL
Tabitha Long has been endorsed by Cook County Commissioner Forrest Claypool for Arlington Heights Village Trustee. Ms. Long is a fresh face in local politics, bringing both new ideas and traditional values to the local political scene. She also brings over 15 years of corporate marketing and project management skills to the table in what’s sure to be an exciting election on April 7, 2009.
Ms. Long owns Island Girl Salvage Inc., the only architectural salvage company in the Northwest Suburbs. She has run a successful national marketing and publicity campaign for her business and intends on bringing that expertise to the Trustee seat. “I know how to build and implement a creative yet inexpensive marketing plan that would make Arlington Heights a destination location,” she said. This expertise, coupled with her fresh ideas on village government transparency and fiscal responsibility, will help ensure that Arlington Heights not only weathers but thrives in the current economic conditions.
Cook County Commissioner Forrest Claypool is the former Superintendent and CEO of the Chicago Park District, a $400 million government agency with 3,200 employees. He has also served as deputy state treasurer and Chief of Staff to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. In 2002, Mr. Claypool won a seat on the Cook County Board by upsetting the president pro tem of the Cook County Board, a three-term incumbent. He was re-elected for a second term in 2006. Mr. Claypool recently voted against and defeated President Stroger’s plan to borrow and increase property taxes in Cook County. "The administration's plan to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars to pay operating costs has been defeated," he added. "It is not in this budget. That is a good thing."
