Marty is continually receiving words of encouragement and offers of support from you, the people of District 11. As Don from Crete points out in his letter to Marty, every supporter makes a difference.

Marty traveled to Joliet on Wednesday to tour Caterpillar's Global Hydraulics Center. He met with a group of the more than 1,200 employees at the facility, and they discussed Marty's commitment to encouraging more job creation in Illinois.

On the tour, Marty was impressed by the speed and quality of the work at the one-million-square-foot factory.

Marty understands that our economy needs more high-paying, middle-class jobs.
 

Did you know that the 11th District’s LaSalle County is expected to have the fourth-largest wind farm in North America? Already finished with the first of four phases, Grand Ridge Wind Farm currently includes 66 turbines that can each supply 350-400 homes with electricity.

Marty served up politics and pork at the Proud American Days Festival in New Lenox on Friday night. As he grilled pork, sausage and chicken for Proud Americans (as New Lenox residents call themselves) and other Lincoln-Way area voters, Marty heard their message loud and clear: they're tired of career politicians who serve their own interests and their own party instead of working across the aisle to tackle the tough challenges facing our country.

Thank you to the hundreds of committed supporters who have donated to Marty’s campaign—his first fundraising quarter contributions totaled over $800,000!

The results prove that the community’s grassroots efforts are paying off—nearly 60% of the donations were for $250 or less, which shows that every dollar counts.

Marty joined a crowd in Momence (Kankakee County) for lunch recently to introduce himself and talk about why he is running for Congress in the 11th District.

As he sat and ate with the group of more than 40 people, he discussed his issue priorities and took time to listen to theirs. Marty's concerns over the current state of our economy and soaring gas prices were shared by all.

Manning the pumps this morning at a Gas City located in Mokena, Marty commiserated with fellow community members about sky-rocketing gas prices.

As he filled the tanks of cars, SUVs, a motor home, and even a 2-gallon jug for a lawn mower, Marty interacted one-on-one with all sorts of people concerned with the amount of money they are pouring into their vehicles.

A huge thanks to the overwhelming number of people who showed their support by attending Marty Ozinga’s campaign kick-off at Angelino’s Restaurant in Mokena on April 30th.

In a packed room buzzing with excitement, community members from all over District 11 and beyond poured out their support and encouragement.
