Manage episode 308261618 series 2606134
Keith Pekau, current Mayor of Orland Park, Illnois, who rose to notoriety during the pandemic, after being the only state official to refuse to comply with Illinois Governor state mask mandate and shut down. Pekau discusses his run for Illinois’s 6th congressional district seat, and the common sense policies he wants to bring to Washington, such as fiscal planning and budgeting. In Pekau’s first term as mayor, he cut operating expenses by 14%, paid down over $50 million in debt, and lowered property tax rates by 22%. He discusses that he never envisioned being a politician, he ran solely because, people need to ‘setup’, that Congress ‘needs good people who aren't in it for themselves, but are in it for’ their constituents, ‘to run for office.’
