Biography
My name is Keith E. Turner. My life experiences and career have uniquely prepared me to continue serving you as your 6th Ward Alderman.
My story is one of service, resilience, and a deep love for the people of the 6th Ward and the city of Waukegan. I was born and raised in Chicago, where life was busy, challenging, and full of lessons.
My parents taught me the value of hard work and commitment, qualities that helped me make the decision to join the U.S. Navy after high school. I spent seven years in the Navy, serving as an Operations Specialist. I traveled the country and the world, and I learned to make quick decisions and work as part of a team in high-stakes situations. The Navy showed me what true resilience meant and how to stay calm, think critically, and get things done, no matter what the circumstances. When I completed two honorable tours of duty, I had a heart full of gratitude for the experiences that shaped me, but I was ready to start a new chapter.
After living and working in several cities across the country, my life journey brought me to Waukegan in 1999 where I married Sonya (Hurst), the love of my life, and we made our home. We do not have children, but over the years, we have opened our home and hearts to a total of nine rescue pets. Every one of those dogs and cats has been a blessing and a reminder of the joy that comes from giving a loving home to an animal in need. It is this same dedication to service, community, and care that drives my work today as your 6th Ward Alderman, and it is why I am honored to run for re-election.
With over 35 years as a Project Management Consultant in Cyber Security and IT Infrastructure, I have led multi-million-dollar projects for major national and international corporations.
My career has equipped me
Strong planning, budgeting, and leadership skills including effective communications, management of people, conflict resolution, problem solving, integrity and building trust that I will continue to apply for the 6th Ward and all of Waukegan.
A long list of management
Below is a list of over twenty of my corporate clients in the Financial, Pharmaceutical, Technical, Service Delivery and Manufacturing industries. These are companies where I successfully solved complex problems.
In public service, I have served our community in various roles, as you will see in the list below
Why you might see me often
These experiences have deepened my commitment to the 6th Ward and strengthened my relationships within our community. People often recognize me out in the neighborhood and at the courthouse.
"the guy who gets things done”
I enjoy reading, riding my motorcycle, hunting, teaching self-defense, and advocating for animal welfare. I am known for being responsive to my neighbors' needs, and I am proud to be "the guy who gets things done."
On April 1st, vote to re-elect Turner for 6th Ward Alderman.
