"As a resident, I want someone who cares about this community, does things for the right reasons and has a forward-thinking mindset. As a mayor, I need Jim to be re-elected to the City Council and I think the people need him to be re-elected to the City Council. The city of Highland Park is very well-positioned financially in these tough times because of Jim's leadership"

"Councilman Kirsch is a truly dedicated public servant for all Highland Park residents. He is a remarkable representative. We are so fortunate to have his expertise, patience and accessibility. He has made a strong commitment to the quality of life of Highland Park, and his tireless efforts are much appreciated."

– Susan Garrett, State Senator

"Jim is very creative in his thinking. He brings to the job a tremendous knowledge from his experience in the business world. And when we have times like now, I think that he works hard to bring that experience to the city so that we not only have a balanced budget, but we ar ethinking ahead."
