“Tom has been a fantastic leader and advocate for his constituents on the County Board. District 64 needs someone like him at this critical time for the State of Illinois,” said Wheeler. “I look forward to helping Tom become our next State Representative and I hope you’ll join me in this effort.”

Weber Said: “I consider it a high honor to have the endorsement of Rep. Wheeler. I am thankful for her confidence in me and look forward to earning the trust of the people.”

"Our campaign kickoff event at Dockers in Fox Lake was a huge success. I am especially honored that Former Congressman Bob Dold and founder of Lake County Right for Life Bonnie Quirke were there to show their support. I had the pleasure of meeting many new people who stopped to introduce themselves. The biggest surprise was all of my supporters who took time out of their busy schedules to be there. I want to say thank you to everyone for supporting my decision in running for the republican nomination for State Representative in District 64.”

Weber is running to replace Barb Wheeler, who announced in July, she would not seek reelection.

"More than anything right now, Illinois needs independent fighters,” Walsh said. "People who will go down to Springfield and fight for Illinois taxpayers. People who will fight to stop the exodus out of the state. Tom will be that fighter. I've known Tom for seven years, he's a true limited government Conservative. And he is so accessible to his constituents. He's what the people of this district need. No one will work harder than Tom Weber."

Tom Weber, "I am honored to have the endorsement of Congressman Joe Walsh. Joe and I both agree that Illinois is worth fighting for. I will be a strong voice for the residents of District 64 in Springfield."

Weber is running to replace Barb Wheeler, who announced in July, she would not seek reelection.

“It is an honor serving the residents of my district on the County Board. However, I feel I can serve them better in Springfield. Taxpayers don’t need people giving up, they need an advocate willing to fight for them. This is why I have decided to enter the race for State Representative.

Currently I am Lake County Board Member and Chairman of the Planning Building and Zoning Committee, Board Member Lake County Forest Preserve District, Board Member University of Illinois Extension Advisory Council for Lake and McHenry Counties, Board of Directors for the Youth Conservation Corp and Board of Directors for Busy Brains Children’s Museum.

Illinois is my home and where I have raised my family. I believe with the right leadership we can save our state. It will take a lot of hard work and I would be honored to go to Springfield and represent the residents of District 64. Respectfully, Tom Weber “
