“I’m Kimberly Rossini, and I am running for Macoupin County Board because I believe that every individual should feel represented in District 5. I am ready to listen to what issues matter to you and to advocate on your behalf.”
We recently sat down with Kimberly to talk about some of the issues that matter to all of us here in Macoupin County, what inspired her to run for County Board, and what she hopes to bring to the role.
Kimberly is a lifelong Macoupin County resident and a Gillespie High School graduate. She went on to attend the University of Illinois before earning her law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law.
Her connection to her community has remained a consistent part of her life. While in college and law school, Kimberly worked for a local factory and completed pro bono legal work for the Macoupin County Public Defender’s Office. After law school, she substitute taught for Gillespie C.U.S.D. while studying for the bar exam.
Kimberly has worked as an attorney for the State of Illinois since 2010, serving in a variety of roles that have given her experience in law, government, and public service.
She and her husband, Jarrod, have been raising their family in District 5 since 2011. Kimberly has also given back to her community through service on the boards of the Friends of the Gillespie Public Library and the Locust Street Resource Center.
For Kimberly, running for County Board is another way to serve the community she has called home throughout her life.
We appreciate Kimberly taking the time to sit down with us and talk about her background, her decision to run, and the issues that matter to the people of District 5 and Macoupin County.
