| Info | Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, John Pavich accepted a post with the Central Intelligence Agency, specializing in counterterrorism. He felt an obligation to serve his country and to give back to the country that had given him so much.
As an intelligence officer in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations – the agency’s clandestine service arm – John gained a firsthand understanding of the global issues confronting our democracy and the threats to our personal freedoms.
John has always dedicated himself to public service. The second of four children of Robert and Marcia Pavich, John J. Pavich grew up in south suburban Lynwood, a part of the 11th Congressional District until 2002. He spent his summers working on the family dairy farm. He graduated from Thornton Fractional South High School and later received degrees in International studies and Russian studies from St. Norbert College in DePere Wisconsin. Following his 1998 college graduation, John embarked upon his career of public service, teaching English in Lithuania.
Following his 2002 graduation from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, John continued his public service career at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. With his expertise in international law and Balkan history, John was a crucial member of the legal team that negotiated the first plea agreement of a national leader in the Tribunal’s history. This plea is widely recognized as being the first step towards a new era of reconciliation in the Balkans.
John’s wife, Kelly, shares his devotion to public service. Kelly served in the Peace Corps after college graduation and has since worked for the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Foundation, which provides college scholarships to inner-city students, and for the Princeton Review.
Following the birth of their first child, Andrew Michael Pavich, in November 2004, John and Kelly decided to look for new ways to serve their community and country. This led to John’s decision to seek the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 11th District of Illinois. John believes that we all share obligations to each other and to our future generations.
John currently practices law in Will County, Chicago and southern Cook County. John and Kelly live in Beecher, Illinois and are members of St. Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church in Lansing, Illinois.
