Dave Bender supports Bethany Rademaker

Send a link to a friend 

To the citizens of Logan County:

I’ve been involved in politics and government for more than three decades. I began my career as a county probation officer at the age of 22, where I learned the satisfaction and reward of giving back to my community

My good friend and colleague Bethany Rademaker also began her career in county government at about the same age. While earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees she worked full time as a deputy clerk in the County Clerk and Recorder’s office. As Chairman of the Republican Party at that time, I frequently worked with County Clerk Sally Turner and her dedicated staff. Bethany Rademaker’s professionalism and commitment impressed me.



Subsequently, in my capacity as the President of the American Council of Engineering Companies of Illinois, our Association was searching for a young professional with financial, organizational and customer service experience.

We needed a candidate who embraces change, applies her education and exceptional work ethic to her career and exceeds expectations to achieve results. We were fortunate enough to hire Bethany five years ago and the Association is better for it.

As Bethany’s direct supervisor, I have witnessed how bright and capable she is. Initially she had little formal knowledge about the engineering field. Now she runs the continuing education programs providing expert organizational leadership to more than 11,000 engineers and staff members statewide. Bethany has a talent for financial structure and management. I regularly receive compliments from members on her enthusiasm for her job and her ability to confidently manage competing priorities.

County government requires exceptional leadership. Bethany Rademaker is an exceptional leader. I will cast my vote to invest in the future by electing Bethany Rademaker Circuit Court Clerk.
