Hello,
My name is Samuel Jay Smucker and I would like to be the next Champaign
County Board member elected from District 8.
As a member of the County Board I will support environmentally
friendly policies such as protecting the Mahomet Aquifer, using the most
advanced sustainable building technologies, and expanding recycling throughout the county.
I believe in a county-run nursing home that raises the standard for
elder care in our community. I favor the opportunity for
rehabilitation and growth for people under county supervision. I
believe in the humane care for animals under county protection and
would like to expand adoption and spay/neuter programs in place of
euthanasia.
I was born, raised, and educated in
For ten years I worked as union organizer for the United Electrical
Workers (UE) and then a trainer for union organizers with AFL-CIO.
I live in West Urbana near Carle Park. Currently I'm employed by the Department of Bioengineering at the
University of Illinois as the Coordinator for Graduate Studies and
Sponsored Research.
Please feel free to contact me and let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
Samuel Jay Smucker
