Pat Shea
County Board CandidatePat Shea built his career from the ground up, starting on a survey crew and working his way into managing major construction projects across Illinois and neighboring states — building roads, bridges, rail lines, and subdivisions along the way. That hands-on experience taught him the value of solid planning, straight talk, and thinking long-term, and it's the same approach he wants to bring to the County Board: supporting responsible growth, protecting farmland, and building infrastructure that serves both today's residents and the next generation.
