Serving the 71st District with Mike Boland

In case you haven't met Mike Boland, I'll try to give you a virtual introduction.

As a former school teacher, Mike Boland brings a unique perspective to the State Legislature. Mike taught Middle School History for 30 years before being elected to office, so he knows education from a teacher's perspective.
Through the years, Mike Boland has taught hundreds (if not thousands) of students about Government, something he continues to do still today. Rep Boland is a regular guest speaker at schools in his district, in fact Mike will be speaking to Joan Eastlund's class at Blackhawk College this upcoming week. Hopefully I'll be able to share a photo or two from that visit once it's happened.

Mike's wife Mary was also a School Librarian for the Geneseo School System, and their daughter Susan Boland carries on the education tradition on for the family. Susan teaches Law Library at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Mike's son-in-law, Kevin Stuckwisch, also is a teacher and athletics coach for U.T.H.S in East Moline.
