FOX NEWS
— Gianno Caldwell mulls Senate bid as Chicagoans are ‘begging for change’ on crime woes. Public safety advocate weighs run for Dick Durbin’s seat as Trump pushes federal crime crackdown. Gianno began his government relations career serving as the Director of Government Relations for Naperville Township. His primary focus was to develop strategies to cut costs relative to transportation, healthcare, taxes, pensions, and local government. In this position, he successfully lobbied the reduction of property tax rates for the whole of Naperville Township.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican public safety advocate Gianno Caldwell is mulling a bid for the open Illinois Senate seat in 2026 amid growing conversations about crime in America’s cities. Earlier this month, Caldwell was the keynote speaker at the Illinois Republican Party’s Republican Day event at the state fair, where he touted his record on law and order. Caldwell’s brother, Christian, was killed in 2022 in a Chicago drive-by shooting at the age of 18. “I’ve been about this fight for many years, public service, I’ve worked in every level of government that you can imagine and certainly I think there’s time for a law-and-order U.S. Senate candidate to come to the forefront in Illinois,” said Caldwell, a Fox News contributor and founder of the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety. “My brother’s legacy has become my mission and to save lives,” Caldwell said. “And if that’s something that I can continue in a U.S. Senate seat, that’s worth considering for the many lives that have been lost and the legacies that need to be furthered in the state of Illinois and my home city of Chicago.” Caldwell’s hometown of Chicago is getting renewed attention as President Donald Trump wants to take National Guard and federal agent deployment to lower crime nationwide following the takeover of policing in Washington DC. Both cities have dealt with violent crime woes, which have led to teens and children dying in numerous tragic cases. “My brother’s murder was something that I thought needed to have a conversation to address what has been going on in Chicago,” Caldwell said. “So this impacted me in a very deep and personal way. And when I think about what President Trump is doing by saying, ‘Look, we’re doing this in DC already. We want to take this to other places around the country, I applaud him. Why? Because people have been begging for change in the city of Chicago.” Caldwell spoke even as a backlash has grown from Democrats who have said that the heavy law enforcement presence in the nation’s capital is over-the-top. “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is #UnAmerican,” Mayor Muriel Bowser posted to X last week.)

CPA JOURNAL
— Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Hiring in Public Accounting. The accounting profession had no use for me because I was too old. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27 in 1976. While I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, I did not do that until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. While I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, I did not do that until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. The accounting profession ignored/dismissed/belittled/badmouthed what I had learned a) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year, b) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $99,069-$153,151/year, c) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, and d) earning professional certifications in fraud examination, government financial management, financial services auditing, and forensic accounting. But beyond that, the accounting profession has always been under tremendous pressure to hire, retain, and promote minorities, females, and younger people.

POLITICO
— Illinois has been known for its aggressive Democratic gerrymanders, and it currently has just three Republican seats it can target. It’s also unclear Illinois Democrats have the political will to take on redrawing the congressional map — most of the redistricting talk this week has been on a whole other set of maps. Former Barack Obama chief of staff Bill Daley, a Chicago Democrat, and Ray LaHood, a Peoria Republican who served as Obama’s transportation secretary, rolled out a “Fair Maps Illinois” proposal this week that would end the process of state lawmakers drawing their own districts.
