The Congressional Campaign of Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) has assembled a coalition of senior citizens from around the 12 Congressional District to gather input on key issues facing our nation's older population.
"Senior citizens issues will be a top legislative priority of mine, if elected. I'm pledging to fight for their rights so they are not left behind," Bost said.
The Bost campaign is also quick to point out that by listening to the policy concerns of the area's seniors they will better be advised on their needs. The founding members and towns of the senior coalition are listed below.
Laura Dean Thomas of Marion, Don Metzler of Alton, Charles Hanfelder of East Alton, Craig Galloway and William Bremen of Belleville, Martin & Katherine Twenhafel of Jacob, June Combs of Chester, Fred Boch, Mary Thurman, Ron Davinroy, and Barb Viviano of O'Fallon, Benny & Sue Frank of DeSoto, Harlan Gerrish of Lebanon, Donald Bigham of Mt. Vernon, Ray Doerr of Vergennes, Benita Coffel of Christopher, Roger Abney of Cobden, Betty Odum of Anna, Joan Kennedy, Gene & Gladys Crawshaw, Jama Berger, Louise Mileur, Betty Frischkorn, Mary Guida, Don Siefert, Earl & Sue Hunziker; all of Murphysboro, Jane Harris and Betty Morefield of Carbondale, Amy & Dennis Trinkle of Pinckneyville, and Lucy Skibinski of Caseyville.
