Biography

Michelle Mussman is serving her first term as the State Representative of the 56th District. She is a married mother of three young boys and an active community volunteer. Her husband, George, is a high school teacher at Fenton High School in Bensenville, where he teaches AP History and is a theater director. 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, she knows the importance of fiscal responsibility and responsible governance.

Mussman understands that many people choose to live in her community because of the quality of the schools. As a mother of three boys and the wife of a teacher, she believes that preserving and strengthening our students' education and making college affordable are vital to our state's future. Improving the performance of public schools is critical and requires that all involved – parents, teachers, administrators, and members of the community – work together to make education a priority for children.

In addition to strengthening schools, Mussman's legislative priorities include creating well-paying jobs and attracting new businesses to the area by providing financial incentives that encourage companies to hire unemployed workers and expand their operations. She will also focus on fostering transparency and accountability in state government by fighting for mandatory jail time for government officials and employees who commit serious ethics violations.

Mussman is opposed to tax increases and strongly supports legislation that freezes increases in property tax assessments. She believes that all levels of government should tighten their belts and live within their means rather than forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for waste and poor management.

Other priorities for Mussman include providing 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 U.S. veteran, Mussman knows we must do more to ensure that returning soldiers receive the care they deserve.

The 56th District includes most of Roselle and Schaumburg, and parts of Bloomingdale, Elk Grove Village, Hanover Park, Hoffman Estates, and Rolling Meadows.
