Michelle Mussman
56th Representative District

 

Michelle Mussman is a mom on a mission to take back state government.  Mussman, who has never before run for office, is fed up with state government’s debt and dysfunction. She will use her real life experiences as a community volunteer and managing the family budget to find common sense solutions for solving the state’s problems.

Mussman has been an energetic part of her local Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) as well as the Schaumburg Township Council of PTAs (STC), which encompasses the 27 local PTAs within Schaumburg Township School District 54.  As a former president and treasurer of the PTA, Mussman knows the importance of fiscal responsibility and responsible governance.

Her legislative priorities include creating well-paying jobs, attracting new businesses to the area, fostering transparency and accountability in state government, and strengthening schools. Mussman will also focus on supporting property tax relief and funding for home care programs that help senior citizens remain in their own homes, protecting children from criminal predators, and cleaning up air and water pollution.  As the proud daughter of a military serviceman, Mussman knows we must do more to ensure that returning veterans receive the care they deserve.

Mussman graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Science in Design.  Her husband, George, is a high school teacher at Fenton High School in Bensenville, where he teaches AP History and is a theater director. Michelle and George have three children: Matt (13), Justin (11), and Nick (9).
