Karen Foster for City of Champaign Township Supervisor

Why You Should Vote Karen Foster

     As a life-long resident of Champaign, I have served the residents in many ways. The majority of my life has been in service to children and families as a teacher in Unit 4 and in three daycare centers/preschools. I was elected to Champaign City Council for eight years.  I have served on the Champaign Neighborhood Services Advisory Board which was the arm of the City responsible for helping develop the Bristol Place neighborhood for more affordable housing in Champaign. Serving on the Family Service Board gave me the opportunity to serve the elderly and others who need assistance in a variety of ways concerning their lives. 

     I am a conservative Republican who believes in limited government. Utilizing grants and other monies to aid those who are in need of assistance as described in the definition for townships is how I would increase funding instead of raising taxes  Serving as Township Supervisor would be my only employment.

     Building trust through teaching and serving on the City Council helped to develop my skills relating to others. My Master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling gives me tools that allow me to be understanding and non-judgemental in speaking with the public.
