A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

PostHeaderIcon James D Skutt for Kankakee County Board - District 26

I would like to thank everyone who came out to vote in the March 2012 primary.  The unseasonably warm weather has given me the chance to get out and walk my newly drawn district and speak with many of you about the direction and business of our county.

I wanted to take a brief moment to thank you and also to let you know I have updated this website with the newly drawn district 26.  click here for more information: About District 26

Respectfully,
James D Skutt

I have spent my childhood, young adult and now adult life involved in the county, for years I have belonged to local associations, organizations and the Kankakee County community.   I have chosen Kankakee County as my home and the place where I am raising my family.  Being part of a community is an investment, I invest in my community because as a citizen, a husband, an expecting parent, a home owner and a tax payer I see the potential in Kankakee County.   I see a county full of resources in the form of people, businesses, and the environment that make this county a beautiful place to live and an attractive place to visit.

In the summer of 2009 I created KankakeeCounty.com, it is a community driven website that is FREE to the community, its citizens, visitors and businesses.  It is just one of the ways I have used my skillset to invest in our county.  KankakeeCounty.com was created online as a place to businesses to advertise for free, for citizens to use and to showcase Kankakee County and what our community has to offer.

I believe that the citizens of District 26 deserve a true Representative on the County Board and true representation can come only through communication with the represented. Today I invite you to connect with me and allow me to understand your views and how YOU want to be represented on the County Board.  Please take a moment to view my experience and the commitments by which I will represent you.

Throughout this summer I have had the chance to personally meet many of you while walking my district.  My goal is to get to every door in my district prior to the election and ask for your input and your support.  I invite you to contact me anytime with your questions and concerns.   I am working very hard so come November 2nd I can be YOUR Representative on the County Board.
