My name is Jim Hart, and I am running to represent you on the Stephenson County Board. I was born and raised in Illinois and have lived in Freeport for almost 10 years. I’ve been married for 37 years. My wife and I moved here because she had an opportunity to teach special education at Freeport School District, which she is still doing today. We have two grown children.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Lewis University and spent my career in commercial insurance and risk management. I was a vice president and officer at the largest such company in the world, and eventually left to found my own firm. I was subsequently a partner in a regional brokerage firm and went on to form two additional companies. As a young man, I worked for an insurance company owned by the Illinois Farm Bureau, of which I am still a member to this day. My well-rounded business experience will give me a good starting point for serving you on the County Board.
Despite my personal success, my path in life was not always easy. I grew up very poor, and had to overcome numerous obstacles to escape that life, put myself through school, and become a successful businessman and entrepreneur. Throughout that period of my life and continuing to today, I have done everything I can to stay grounded. I have been very fortunate, and many people aren’t as lucky. Because of this, I give back whenever I can. I’m always willing to lend my neighbors and community a helping hand whenever it’s needed. I am also a supporter of the Humane Society, Multiple Sclerosis Society, and the Salvation Army.
Jim Hart serves on the Court Services Committee and the Planning and Development Committee. He has a passion for keeping Walnut Acres a Stephenson County public-owned facility. His term expires in 2024.
