Hopes and Dreams
I want to contribute to Wikipedia with my skills in mass communications and editing, hopefully resulting in an increased quality in articles and pages on here. I want to focus on local politics, such as with State Representatives and State Senators in Illinois.

Topics of Interest

 * Politics of the United States
 * Politics of Illinois
 * Minor Fixes to Wikipedia Articles

Line of Work
I formerly worked as a canvasser for State Senator Rachelle Aud Crowe when she ran to replace Bill Haine's seat. So hopefully I'll be more involved in politics and helping out the wikipedia community.
