About Scott Summers

Job History:

Prior to entering private practice, served as staff attorney for a large law firm and as staff attorney for a non-profit legal services organization. Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, 1975-1979. Executive assistant to director.

Important Issues:
	The nation demands bold thinking and smart solutions. It's time for a fresh start. Summers' platform includes an expedited military withdrawal from Iraq, coupled with a massive aid program for displaced civilians and refugees and redoubled efforts to provide health care and employment opportunities for war veterans and their families. Scott promotes common-sense fiscal and trade policies and reconfigured health care and education systems. “We need to put people first,” he says. “The key to economic prosperity is a skilled and healthy workforce.” His “microcapitalism” project will help start and grow local businesses. “Home-grown jobs won't be outsourced,” Summers asserts. Scott advocates for personal responsibility. “The turn-around work I do in Washington will merely set the tone,” he says. “Sustained societal change means that every American gets involved in little ways every day.”

Why Vote For Me:

In addition to his law degree from Northern Illinois University, Summers holds an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management and a liberal arts degree from the University of Illinois. Summers also is the author of two “how-to” volumes. Guardianship and Conservatorship: A Handbook for Lawyers appeared in 1996. Advance Health Care Directives: A Handbook for Professionals was released in 2002. Both titles are published by the American Bar Association. Throughout his twenty-nine years of residency in rural Harvard, Summers has been active in civic affairs. In April, 2005, voters elected him as a trustee of McHenry County College.
