Mel Thillens and new Republican Committeeman Join Forces to Open Office
Mel Thillens and Charlene Foss-Eggemann are finding new ways to work together and get Republicans elected to office. The pair will be sharing office space at 680 Lee Street in Des Plaines in what Thillens describes as the heart of where his opponent started his political career.
Thillens is running to be the next Illinois State Representative from the 55th District. Foss-Eggemann was recently elected as Committeeman of the Maine Township Republican Organization.
