Statement From Larry

Dear Friend:

I would like to welcome you to my campaign website. As your Will County Executive, I am your countywide elected official who is responsible for the day to day operations of County government. In this role, I am working full time to address the many challenges our rapidly growing county faces.

I ran for Will County Executive to bring responsible, accountable and visible government to our communities. Since being elected in 2004, and reelected in 2008, my administration has worked cooperatively to bring the County’s financial house in order, create better partnerships with our local governmental bodies, and planned more pro-actively for the future of our region.

Please check back regularly to this website as I will continue to update you with ongoing issues, news stories, and other important information related to my campaign efforts.

Thanks for your support,

Lawrence "Larry" M. Walsh
