Ryan McHeffey
Hello everyone. As you know, I am a Veteran running against Marion as an Independent. I am a Conservative at heart. I believe in transparency with all levels of government. It's we the people not we the government. I am new to this but I can't stand back and watch what is happening to our Country that I have fought for.
Running for county board for Manteno District 6
My name is Ryan Mcheffey and I live in Manteno County Board District 6. I have served this nation now for approximately 19 years. I am married and have five children as well as care of my niece and nephew. I have served over seas in combat and have held many different leadership roles. I have seen over the years what nepotism does to our country and towns. We have 2 types of leadership in this world. We have a true leader who leads from the front and then we have parasitic leadership which try’s to lead from the rear but only sucks the life out of workers and or citizens and points fingers.
With that being said, Mr. Ryan Marion, as Village of Manteno Code Enforcer, has a duty to ensure all companies follow the Village Code. A lawsuit alleges that Marion failed in this duty by not speaking against the rezoning of the Gotion Property from I-1 to I-2 and by refusing to answer our question as to whether Gotion would be using highly toxic chemicals in our community. Through this, we feel he has played a crucial role in bringing the CCP-linked Gotion to Manteno. Marion is not looking out for the best interests of the citizens of Manteno County Board District 6.
I can and will represent the voters of district 6. It’s time we listened to the People of Manteno, not the government. For these reasons, I would like to be appointed to the county board for Manteno District 6. I will be submitting my application today, after this meeting.

I would like to add my voice to the opposition to the Chinese Communist Party owned Gotion EV Battery Plant slated to be built in the small town of Manteno, Illinois.
This deal was done in complete secrecy from the residents. This is where the trouble began. Gov. Pritzker has signed this secret deal giving this Communist Chinese Party Company $8 Billion Dollars of taxpayer monies to build a $2 Billion Dollar manufacturing battery plant all without the input of the affected Manteno Residents input, regarding the sediments included.
There is no environmental studies of the long term to safety to health, ground water, and influx of increased population growth because of this facility and the negative impact upon the pristine farm land community of Manteno that is NOT being taken into account. Anything done in the dark will soon come to the light.
Put simply, this rushed deal is UN-AMERICAN!
I, therefore stand shoulder to shoulder with the Residents of Manteno and I am in total opposition to this plant’s construction in this town. Gov. Pritzker has stooped to name calling maligning the MAGA Brand which only means “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”. Gov. Pritzker has sided with the Chinese Communist Party over American Citizens of Manteno, Illinois.
This is why we must stand and defend our land against all enemies foreign & domestic whether it be in our Executive Branch, in our Legislature, or our Judicial Branch, “We The People” is our rallying cry before Almighty God in the Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior that He will be with us to the end.
NEVER SURRENDER. NEVER GIVE IN NOR GIVE UP. I BELIEVE GOD. HE WILL MAKE A WAY OUT OF NO WAY. PRAY, CASTING ALL YOUR CARES UPON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR US. HE KNOWS WHAT IS OCCURRING HERE. HE WILL ANSWER. HAVE FAITH IN HIM.
Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling and present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God our Savior, be Glory, Majesty, Dominion and Power both now and ever.
And all the people said, “Amen”.
