InfoJohn Laesch was born on January 29th, 1974. The son of Christian missionaries, John spent the first twelve years of his life living in Monrovia, Liberia where his family helped to spread the good word in Western Africa.

In 1986, the Laesch family settled in Newark, IL, on a small farm. An athlete and a scholar, John served as captain of the soccer team and graduated fourth in his class from Newark High School in 1992.

Driven by his desire to serve his country, John enlisted in the United States Navy in 1995. In 1996, Laesch graduated at the top of his class as an Intelligence Analyst for the United States Navy and was transferred to the Middle East for the next three years.

While stationed in Bahrain, Laesch analyzed terrorist organizations and foreign political and military structures. Before being medically evacuated from the Middle East and honorably discharged, John meritoriously rose 5 ranks within 3 short years. He received numerous citations for his outstanding service to our nation.

Following his service in the Navy, Mr. Laesch attended Illinois State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in History and minors in Political Science and Communications.

After miraculously surviving and recovering from an automobile accident in 2002, John realized that if he truly wanted to affect positive change in this world, then he needed to become more politically active. John began volunteering for numerous political campaigns, taking on higher leadership levels with each subsequent campaign. In the 2004 election cycle, Mr. Laesch served as the campaign manager for Dr. David Gill in the Illinois 15th Congressional District.

At the conclusion of the 2004 election, John realized that the national agenda could only be changed from the 14th District and decided to challenge Dennis Hastert in the 2006 election.
