			 It instilled such a deep affection for this 
			community and for the people who live and work here. Just being a 
			Railer fan, teaching, counseling, being involved with the Pom Pon 
			Squad and directing musicals created a bond with so many people. It 
			is part of why my commitment and involvement has lead me to this 
			point of wanting to be Mayor of Lincoln.” 
 Rohlfs served as an Alderman from 2005 to 2009, also as director of 
			the Main Street Lincoln program for 7 years. She taught at LCHS for 
			38 years and continues to serve on many area organizations in a 
			leadership role. She is a graduate of Hartsburg-Emden High School 
			with a Bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University, a Master’s 
			degree from Sangamon State University, and an advanced certificate 
			in Education Administration from U of I Springfield.

			 My consistent attendance at City Council meetings 
			along with changes in city policies and procedures lead me to 
			believe that what was being communicated to the citizens lacked 
			clarity, openness, and responsibility. I want the people of Lincoln 
			to become more aware of decisions being made, and, hopefully, become 
			more involved in the process of making those decisions.
 Three areas became significant to Rohlfs for this election: due 
			diligence, transparency, and accountability. “A common thread 
			citizens are relating is the need for “Making Lincoln Home Again.” A 
			disconnected feeling, a lack of pride, and a lack of ownership has 
			been created for many residents. My goal as Mayor of Lincoln, is to 
			bring back stability, equality, authenticity and accountability to 
			the citizens.”
