1:07:00 Can Jim Carris get more done as a Conservative DemocratABOUT JIM CARRISJim Carris is not a politician. He’s a local business leader and decades-long resident of Lake County running for Congress to change the trajectory of the country – by working to end the negative social discourse that has taken hold in Washington and passing real policy solutions for Americans based on logic, compassion, and common sense.Jim is the child of an immigrant. His father left Greece because he was unable to attend college due to his parents’ political affiliation. Jim’s father moved to Chicago, where he met his mom at their local Greek church. He got his big break as a union house painter and later went on to be a contractor – all while providing for his family and raising five kids in Illinois with Jim’s mom – who herself was the daughter of immigrants.From his father’s experiences Jim gained three things: one, the love for this country because of what it has provided him – the ability to live the American dream. Two, the importance of small government oversight. And finally, the importance of education.College wasn’t just an option for Jim, he was expected to go. However, how to pay for it was a different story. The contracting business is sometimes difficult and so for periods of time during Jim’s life, money was tight. So, Jim put himself through college and law school by painting houses, working construction, washing dishes, and bartending – never afraid to put in the work.Jim has spent his life in business, not politics, practicing law, running his own company and as a corporate leader. His career in business, as well as watching his father run a small business, has provided Jim with the understanding of keeping a balanced budget and making payroll. Additionally, he understands the costs and hardships small businesses contend with, and the struggles 10th District families are dealing with, due to burdensome government overregulation, inflation and high taxes.Throughout the years, Jim has been deeply involved in his community serving on numerous community and charitable organizations, including the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, American Red Cross of Chicago, NAIOP, Lurie Children’s Hospital Pro-Am Golf Committee, the Plan Commission of Lake Forest as well as coaching youth soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and flag football. This extensive involvement has given him firsthand knowledge of the issues that matter most to the people of the 10th Congressional District.In Congress, Jim will work across the aisle to deliver results for the families of the 10th Congressional District. He’s a new, independent leader who will make the economy, public safety and national security his main focus in Washington.Jim and his wife, Kimberly, are raising their three children in Lake County.

Here is a video clip from  @EnjoyLakeForest  of concerned citizens speaking out at the Lake Forest Illinois City Council meeting regarding the home invasion when 3 suspects forced their way into elderly woman’s home in Lake Forest

here is the link to story https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2024/05/04/police-investigating-home-invasion-after-3-suspects-force-way-into-elderly-womans-home-in-lake-forest/

Police are seeking three suspects who forced their way into an elderly woman’s home and held her in place before ransacking her house in Lake Forest.

The incident happened sometime between 7-8 p.m. last Saturday in the 1000 block of West Deerpath Road in Lake Forest.

The victim reported three male subjects dressed in black forced their way into the residence and stole multiple pieces of jewelry.

Lake Forest Deputy Police Chief Kevin Zelk said the homeowner was present at the time of the incident.

They heard heavy knocking at the door before it was forced open.

The three suspects entered the residence and two immediately went upstairs, Zelk said.

The third told the homeowner their house was on fire and grabbed them by the shoulders, holding the victim in place during the incident.

“It was originally reported that the offender held the homeowner down to the ground; however, that wasn’t the case,” Zelk said.

The offenders have not been identified yet. The homeowner was uninjured.

The homeowner was reported to be an elderly female. Zelk would not confirm the victim’s age or gender.

The suspects arrived and fled in a black pickup truck, possibly a Dodge Ram.

Anyone with footage of a vehicle in the area matching the description is asked to contact the Lake Forest Police Department by emailing [email protected].
