Biography

Michelle Mussman is the full-time State Representative of the 56th District. Prior to being elected as State Representative, Michelle served as president and treasurer of her local Parent Teacher Association and as a member of the Schaumburg Township Council of Parent Teacher Associations. Since taking office, Michelle has pushed to make Illinois more fiscally responsible, backing measures cutting millions in wasteful spending to provide relief to residents and to protect vital services for residents like seniors and people with disabilities.

As a mother of three and a wife of a local school teacher, Michelle knows the importance of protecting our children’s education. Michelle is standing up against proposals in Springfield that would divert millions of dollars away from local schools. Michelle also believes that working families deserve property tax relief. Michelle is supporting a measure that freezes local property taxes from automatically increases and to require approval from voters before taxes can go up again.

In 2016, Mussman was a presidential elector from Illinois.[5]

Mussman attended Purcell Marian High School in Cincinnati, OH, graduating in 1990 before attending the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design.
