Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Eugene Farrell - Hard working family man from rural Warren County in Western Illinois. I previously held the position of Committee Membeman in Warren County. I have been active with the Republican party for over 20 years. I served my country proudly in the Army for 8 years and a disabled veteran. I am actively in my community and considered a great neighbor.

My focus is to bring great Government jobs to District 17. I plan to cap student loan interest rates at 10% to keep higher education affordable. I will also present a plan to allow disabled veterans to continue to serve (if they are eligible) and be able to collect BOTH their VA disability and their drill pay. Currently, veterans have to choose between them.
