Joseph Cardoso’s Background has Prepared Him to Serve our Community

Jobs and the Economy

As a former business owner, Joseph has firsthand experience with opening businesses, navigating red tape, and accessing needed resources. On the County Board, he will work to responsibly reduce barriers that businesses face so that they can sustain jobs and families.

Good Government

Joseph had to build relationships, deliver high quality results, and be honest with his customers in order to succeed in business. He thinks our local government should do the same with its constituents. Joseph believes in transparency, separation of powers, and telling the truth.

Public Health

Joseph will work to forge partnerships between local governments and non-profits to improve addiction treatment and recovery in Stephenson County. This includes closing gaps in services and increasing awareness for people who may need help. Blue collar workers are the highest percentage of persons using treatment.
