Carey Receives Sierra Club Endorsement

The Sierra Club Woods and Wetlands Group of Northeastern Illinois recently announced their endorsement of Pat Carey for Lake County Board District 11. The following is an excerpt from their upcoming Fall Newsletter.

“Pat Carey is a 25 year resident of Grayslake and is running for Lake County Board District 11. District 11 includes Grayslake and Wildwood. Formerly Mayor of Grayslake, Pat now has responsibility for economic development with the Village of Arlington Heights. Pat is also a member of the Sierra Club and the Liberty Prairie Conservancy.

Pat started her career in government as a citizen leader in the battle to save Picket Fence Farms from development. Today this property is the 1,225 acre Rollins Savanna, one of the jewels of the Lake County Forest Preserve. She will bring a strong focus to the environment, moving to create a position in the County to coordinate all environmental initiatives, including moving the County’s fleet of cars to hybrids, implementing LEED certified development & building practices, and establishing Lake County as a “Cool County”.

As a new member of the Lake County Board, Pat will bring a commitment to the environment in everything she does. Please vote for Pat Carey in November if you live within Lake County Board District 11.”
