Rory Welch | House Republican Majority
The House Republican Majority has issued the following press release:
NORTHFIELD, IL – Today, Rory Welch launched his campaign for State Representative in the 57th District, which encompasses portions of New Trier, Northfield, and Wheeling townships in Cook County and Vernon Township in Lake County.
“Taxpayers have plenty to be dissatisfied with as crime rates, taxes, and corruption soar and our children fall behind in their education,” stated Welch. “Maintaining the status quo isn't acceptable, nor is leaving Illinois for more tax-friendly states. Home is worth fighting for, so I have decided to change Illinois' destructive path by running for state representative.”
Growing up as the youngest of 7, Rory Welch knows what it's like going to bed hungry and days without water and electricity because of his family's economic challenges in rural Louisiana. Vowing not to allow his conditions to define him and his willingness to work hard, he worked his way through school, earning a BA in Economics from Furman University and his MBA from Indiana University in Bloomington.
Rory Welch works as a consultant specializing in supply chain, operations management, and strategy. He has an extensive operating background spanning over 20 years across multiple industries, including retail, manufacturing, distribution, and technology.
Rory is an avid cyclist and enjoys staying active in the community he calls home. He's been a den leader in the local cub scouts, worked with foster children as a CASA volunteer, and was elected to the Sunset Ridge School District 29 board in 2019.
He and his wife Katy reside in Northfield with their four children. They are active members of the Lutheran Church of the Ascension.
