Donation protected


PLEASE DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN TO TERRE, SO SHE CAN SERVE AS ONE OF OUR OWN, IN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS ILLINOIS 1ST DISTRICT (Primary date: June 28, 2022).
 
I am running with very little money and no political connections to start over, to begin anew for the people living in my district—Terre Layng Rosner (LinkedIn Bio )

“Being a Congressional Rep. is not my career, I’ve had that; it’s a duty that my Mom and Dad instilled in me. Many have told us that this district is ‘owned’ by one constituency or another--but that’s not right. The people in our district are free to elect anyone. No one person or group can claim ownership of our government. We are the government. From Englewood to Midlothian to Tinley Park to Frankfort to New Lenox to Bourbonnais. I think there is still good in our government. People like us can make it so.”

Terre’s husband of 37 years, Dan, has worked as a blue-collar employee his entire career. He was born in Englewood (a South Side neighborhood in Chicago in the 1st District) and has been a staunch supporter of Unions and workers as a result. Dan and Terre raised their children to respect others and build a moral compass that recognizes the dignity of people balanced by individual choice. Dr. Layng Rosner especially emphasized that maturity is about how we treat one another, while not forgetting our individual voice. After making the choice to Early Retire from her University Professorship, Terre understood that the next step in service would be as a public representative of her Congressional District (IL).

As a way to understand who Dr. Layng Rosner is, consider some of the experiences she has had in her long career as an Educator. She has been fearless when facing the Goliaths in her professional and personal life. For example, Terre was elected for 12 years, as one of three negotiators to improve compensation, benefits and working conditions for her colleagues at the University of St. Francis (a private, non-profit institution). Unabashedly pro-union, she picketed in her first year at the University, risking her job, to unionize the faculty. She served many years on the Illinois Technology Resource Team (IL School District #161) as Chair and member, where Terre tackled problems concerning the elementary students’ equal access and use of computers in our school system.

She was successful in that crusade and will take this advocacy and passion to Congress for all of us.

Born in Rockford, the 6th of 10 children, Terre is a lifelong resident of Illinois, attended Boylan Catholic
High School, and Northern Illinois University for her undergraduate and graduate studies. She has been a citizen of the 1st district for over 30 years. Dr. Layng Rosner has spent her career as an Educator, Professor, Negotiator and Activist. She has served our community, while raising three children, going to school full-time, maintaining her responsibilities as tenured Faculty / Chair and sharpening her executive leadership skills. Layng Rosner looks forward to representing ALL the people of the 1st Congressional District from our Will & Cook County South Suburbs through South Chicago.
