Prior to my first run for U.S. Congress in 2004, I worked as an account manager for a data integration firm and had many large multi-nationals as clients. I felt I had a pretty good understanding of what was happening in my field as far as growth and outsourcing.
What was keeping me up at night, and helped inspire my run, was the question: where are the jobs that pay a living wage going to be for the next generation? As a mother of two college students, that is the generation of my own sons and their peers.
As a candidate I started to look into my district for the potential areas of economic opportunity and possibilities for future job growth. What I have learned over the course of the last year and half steeled my resolve to make a second run at the seat currently held by Henry Hyde (IL-6).
