Welcome to Our Website Dear Friends:
My name is Steve Waterworth. I’m the Democratic candidate running for United States Representative in Illinois’ 18th Congressional District.
I’m 56 years old, a resident of rural Easton in Mason County. I served 24 years in the Air Force and the 182nd Air Lift Wing in Peoria. I retired from the Air Guard in 1995.
I decided to run for Congress because of the many problems facing our nation. Problems such as the Middle East quagmire, the national debt, the foreign trade deficit, increasing unemployment, age discrimination toward workers, lack of universal healthcare, loss of personal privacy, and the economic decline of rural America. All problems that have escalated in the three years of the Bush administration.
When I see problems like these I truly feel the obligation to take a leadership role and try to find solutions when the present elected leaders can not. If I don’t, then I’m part of the problem. And I absolutely refuse to be a part of the problems created by the Bush administration.
With your support and my election to Congress I know that I can create a team of dedicated people to help me, who not only know the 18th District, but also have a better feel for what all of America needs. It’s time to turn away from the divide and destroy tactics that so enrich the special interest groups that cater to the Republican leadership and begin to build a government that serves, and doesn’t take from it’s citizens. Thank you.
