WHITE HOUSE
— Ivanka Trump calls on American companies to invest in our workers (DIERSEN: Does/did your employer/employers invest in you? Aside from in-house training, while I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, GAO did not invest in me. Aside from in-house training, while I worked for IRS almost 9 years, IRS did not invest in me. To qualify myself for promotions, I earned a) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

If you have experience, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes ignore, dismiss, belittle, demonize, denigrate, and condemn your experience. I have been a member of the Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) since 1999. If you asked my fellow MTRCC members about my experience, or for that matter, if you asked them what I do 10+ hours each and every day, that is, do they know about the emails that I send out, few of them would know. Few of them would know a) that I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which, at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325/year; b) that I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5/12 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880/year; c) that during that time I became a Forensic Accountant, Certified Financial Services Auditor, Certified Fraud Examiner, Licensed CPA, Certified Internal Auditor, and CPA; or d) that during that time, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and an MBA from Loyola.)

DAILY HERALD
— Former DuPage GOP chairwoman remembered as ‘trailblazer’ – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190306/former-dupage-gop-chairwoman-remembered-as-trailblazer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Longtime DuPage County Republican Chairwoman Barbara Murphy may not have considered herself a trailblazer, even if her contemporaries did. Her obituary notes Murphy always gave credit to former state Senate President James “Pate” Philip for “including her as the only woman in the proverbial ‘all male smoke filled’ meetings.” But it also was Murphy’s sharp and highly regarded political mind that propelled her to the top of the male-dominated party leadership in DuPage. Long before the blue wave loosened the party’s grip, DuPage was one of the most reliably Republican strongholds in the country when Murphy was a prominent GOP operative in the 1990s. “But Barbara never blew her own horn,” said Pat Durante, the former Addison Township GOP chairman. “She did her job. She knew that what she would do was good for the party. She wasn’t one to pound her chest. That wasn’t Barbara Murphy.” . . “Barb always seemed to be everywhere,” former DuPage County Board Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said. “When you were either running for office or held office or interested in politics or part of the Republican Party, you knew of and hopefully knew Barb because she was a leader.” Schillerstrom called Murphy a “good listener” who made herself available. But she also was forceful in swaying GOP organizers to her point of view. “Barbara would let you know what she needed, what she wanted, what she expected of you,” Durante said. “She was very outspoken and the beauty of Barbara — when Barbara would say something, people would listen and she motivated people.” Durante relied on Murphy to help him start the Addison Township’s Republican Women’s Club. She was “the go-to person” for providing trusted advice to encourage women to get involved in politics. “I don’t know a statewide candidate that came to DuPage County that didn’t take five minutes to call or meet with Barbara,” Durante said. “If you were running statewide and you came to DuPage, one of the people you wanted to visit with was Barbara Murphy.” She played an instrumental role in Mary Jo Arndt’s election as Republican National Committeewoman, Durante said. And she ran DuPage County’s Lincoln Day dinners with an “iron hand.” “God help that person who would get in her way,” Durante said. “She was a tiger.”)

They stress my support for the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.)
