Calling ALL Democrats, Republicans & IndependentsVote REPUBLICAN for
Michelle Courier March 15! Michelle Courier serves everyone with the same courtesy and respect, whether you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent. Her respect for all different nationalities is beyond reproach. This may be the reason that some good old boys in her party don’t get the preferential treatment that they enjoyed with the prior administration and have decided to promote a candidate from that prior administration to run against her.
Do not allow the good old boys to fool you. It is not about Michelle’s record as State’s Attorney; it is about who can control and receive the preferential treatment that they feel they deserve over the rest of the citizens of Boone County.
So please, get out and vote for Michelle Courier, to continue to do the job that she has proven can be done well, by representing everyone. We all need Michelle Courier to keep the respectability in this office that we have enjoyed for the past 7 years.
A vote for Michelle Courier is a vote for an elected position, that has a proven record of Government working for ALL the people of Boone County.

Boone County Shopper - Belvidere, Illinois - March 10, 2016 Page 3
Dear Boone County Residents,
When I announced I would seek re-election for State’s Attorney in June of 2015, I made a commitment to this community to run a POSITIVE CAMPAIGN. I gave you my word I would not engage in campaign deception and trickery. I have kept that promise because my integrity is important to me, and I deeply care about the future of Boone County.
I am thankful for the overwhelming support shown to me during this campaign. I have enjoyed meeting and visiting with you while walking door-to-door. Your support has meant a great deal to me as I have confronted a difficult campaign of false and misleading information and personal attacks. I refuse to participate in this type of campaigning.
Boone County deserves a leader that can run on her OWN RECORD and whose actions match her words. I have kept my promises, and I have a proven record. I, along with a team of career prosecutors, have aggressively prosecuted gang members, child predators, and drug dealers. We have successfully prosecuted over 2000 felony cases and over 2300 drunk driving charges in the last 7 years. We have tried more cases, more difficult cases, and have obtained justice for more victims. In the last eighteen months alone, we successfully prosecuted 3 First Degree Murder trials that were gang related. I have made sure that law enforcement has every tool available to fight against gangs and have worked with our community to ensure that they are informed so that they too can help law enforcement. We have held drunk drivers accountable while introducing innovative technology such as SCRAM bracelets to fight against habitual drunk drivers. We have been fiscally responsible by consistently under spending our budget and saving taxpayers’ money and stepping up efforts to collect an additional 1.5 million dollars in outstanding fines and fees. We have initiated programs geared to ensure justice with such programs as the First Offender Program intended for first-time, nonviolent offenders.
My actions have matched my words, and my actions, together with our community’s and law enforcement’s actions, have kept this area safe. My name is Michelle Courier, and I would appreciate your vote for State’s Attorney in the Republican Primary on March 15th.
Sincerely,
Michelle Courier
Paid for by the Citizens to Elect Michelle Courier
Vote Republican March 15th!
A State’s Attorney for ALL of Boone County
Please join us election night at the VFW, 1210 W. Lincoln, Belvidere.
“Actions speak louder than words, and Michelle has demonstrated dedication with integrity through her actions. My hope and prayer is that no one would need Michelle’s assistance the way that my family has, but there is comfort in knowing she is there. I cannot express in words how having her help has given us confidence in the Boone County State’s Attorney’s Office.” Brother of Murder victim Louise Betts “During our trial we were treated like family from the very day we met. Michelle shows that she cares about the safety and well being of the community.” Mother of Murder victim Richard Herman “Integrity, Perseverance, Commitment, and Compassion; these are just a few words to describe Boone County States Attorney Michelle Courier. From the time my case was taken on by Michelle and her staff, I felt like she was not going to stop until justice was served. Boone County residents who have had no dealings with Michelle and her staff may not know how lucky we are in Boone County to have her in this position. I feel like she makes our county a safer place to live. We need her to stay put to continue what she has done and will continue to do.” Victim of a Stalker “Michelle’s office impressed me with their compassion and diligence in pursuing justice in this case. It was refreshing to see people do their work with passion, professionalism, and thoughtfulness. Michelle is making a difference in our community.” Victim of a Residential Burglary “We appreciate your efforts. It will not bring back a fellow rider but it will send a message that leaving the scene of an accident involving death and aggravated driving under the influence of drugs will not go unpunished in our area. Hopefully, this will give the family some bit of resolve for their tragic loss.” Friend of a drunk driving victim

Justice?July 18, 2012
Our Dad, Tom Towns,was walking across the street when he was struck by a vehicle driven by an illegal alien*. Tom later died of the injuries.
If the illegal alien had been charged with a state charge she could have faced jail time and deportation. The present State’s Attorney failed to file a state charge. The illegal alien paid a fine on a city ticket which carries no jail time or risk of deportation.
The illegal alien has been arrested in 2014 and in 2015 for driving on a suspended license. The present State’s Attorney failed to obtain
any jail sentence which could have led to deportation and in fact the illegal alien was placed on c ourt supervision twice. The judge was never informed that her previous actions caused our Dad’s death or that she was an illegal alien. She, however, is still living in Boone County.
Boone County needs an aggressive, competent prosecutor, not a politician. We ask you as citizens of BooneCounty to remember our Dad and please vote for Tricia Smith!
Sincerely,
Teresa Wennmacher, Tara Kohheiser, Tom Towns Jr.

Paid for by Tricia Smith for Boone County State’s Attorney. A copy of my report is (or will be) led with the IL State Board of Elections.
On March 15th the people of Boone County have a choice in the State’s Attorney’s race. Join the thousands
of voters who are voting for Tricia Smith!
When Michelle Courier ran for State’s Attorney 8 years ago her numbers and her ads
were questionable.
“States Attorney conviction
rates in ads questioned”
“Courier has said only 32.6 percent of the
Class X felony charges Hursh has led
have resulted in Class X convictions. But
a Register Star analysis of the Class X
felonies resolved during Hursh’s tenure
uncovered different numbers.”
Rockford Register Star
January 30, 2008
Michelle Courier is on the attack again with her own stats. Her numbers were wrong
8 years ago and they are wrong now.
Let’s compare Michelle Courier’s recordMichelle Courier’s of ce has only won 63% of felony jury trials.Her predecessors Roger Russell, Jim Hursh and John Maville all had 82-85% win records.
Michelle Courier has one of the worst records for numbers of days it takes to close a case by trial.

IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, MINUTES MATTER!
The North Boone Fire Department (NBFD) plays a critical role in the region’s fire and public safety infrastructure. In addition to providing fire and rescue services, North Boone has a fully-staffed ambulance with an available paramedic and EMT. Now NBFD seeks to operate its own 24/7 ambulance service to provide more timely and consistent service to its residents.
To do this, North Boone is required by law to ask voters to help fund this expanded ambulance service. The department has filed the necessary paperwork for the Yes/No referendum and the question will be on the ballot in the March 15, 2016 election. The referendum issue would require the owner of a $100,000 house to pay just $16.67 each year in additional property taxes. It’s a small price to pay for added safety.
In a medical emergency, minutes really matter. Faster response means care is delivered to a patient in a timelier manner, leading to better overall outcomes. The closer the ambulance service, the quicker the response time and the faster that treatment can be provided to a patient.
It’s a small price to pay for added safety.
March 15 - Vote YES!
IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, MINUTES MATTER!
Friends of North Boone Fire Protection District
As a former Boone County Assistant State’s Attorney, I feel compelled to respond to Michelle Courier’s February flyer/mailer. This flyer states that her “office” has “worked hard to put...criminals away.” The word “office” is Courier’s latest spin in her attempt to portray herself as a tough prosecutor. Courier carefully uses the word “office”, because she has never personally tried a felony jury trial in her life . That is a fact that she cannot spin. She tries to take credit for the work of other Assistants in her office. The consequences, however, of Courier’s lack of criminal trial work is that she has virtually no experience to draw on to supervise and train these Assistants. The result of this inexperience is seen in an appalling 63% conviction rate in felony jury trials. The average felony jury trial conviction rate of prior Boone County State’s Attorneys is between approximately 82%- 85%.
Tricia Smith doesn’t need to take credit for the trial work of other attorneys. She has extensive experience prosecuting both felony and misdemeanor cases. She has tried felony jury trials. She relishes the opportunity to be in the courtroom, trying cases, unlike her opponent. If Tricia is elected, she will personally handle criminal cases from the charging stage all the way through trial, as have all Boone County State’s Attorneys prior to Courier.
Boone County needs an experienced prosecutor who is willing, and able, to handle the most serious cases herself. Boone County needs Tricia Smith as its next State’s Attorney.
