Lauzen cited the DuPage County Board chairman’s similar professional and political preparation for County Board chairman responsibilities.

“Dan and I literally sat next to each other in the senate working for years on similar initiatives like tax relief, ethics reform and improvements to the employment environment ...

In the Illinois General Assembly, Dan Cronin sponsored property tax relief and eminent domain reforms to protect taxpayers from government confiscation of private property.

“I am especially delighted to receive former Sen. Dan Cronin’s support because, in just his first two years as board chairman of the second-largest county in Illinois, he has already implemented a $10.4 million decrease in spending and strengthened the county’s ethics ordinance through votes on the County Board ... these are two of my top priorities,” said Lauzen.
