About this user

Jerry Costello is recognized as a Congressman who works hard and gets the job done. When he served in local public office, Costello laid out a vision for Southwestern and Southern Illinois which he took to Congress: To boost the local economy by building a new transportation network for the region. That is one of the reasons why the respected Almanac of American Politics has said that Costello is "as practical and district-minded as any Member of the House...If it can be done, Costello will surely do it."

Costello began his career shortly after his graduation from high school, working full time as a law enforcement officer while attending college. After graduating from Maryville University, Costello became recognized throughout the state for his creativity and ability in administering the region's court services system. In 1980, he was elected Chairman of the St. Clair County Board, chief executive for one of Illinois' largest counties. He took that experience to Congress in August of 1988.

Unlike some Members of Congress who get elected and move their families to the East Coast, Jerry Costello's family has remained in Illinois. Costello comes home every weekend and holds numerous civic meetings, public forums and media events throughout the 12th Congressional District when Congress is not in session. His wife, Georgia, is the President of Southwestern Illinois College. Her extensive career in education has included positions as a teacher, school principal and Assistant Superintendent of the St. Clair County Regional Office of Education. She has also remained active in volunteer organizations and community affairs.
