Member Ortiz’s Vision for the County

 
“My vision for Will County includes ethical leadership, community investment, environmental sustainability, and true justice for all. The people of Will County deserve tax dollars that work for them and a transparent and honest government at every level. Will County should set the standard for Climate Action, Mental Healthcare, Public Services, and more. Together we can make Will County the best place to live and grow in all of Illinois.” - Member Ortiz
