In the letter, Congressman Porter says, "Julie's approach to public service is the same as mine.  Her experience in serving the people of West Deerfield Township for the last 15 years as their Supervisor, confirms her commitment to bring a moderate, bipartisan approach to service in Springfield."  

Also according to Porter, "In my judgment, Julie has all the makings in terms of background, experience, and service to make an outstanding member of the Illinois Senate."
