N’DIGO: .What would you differently than any other politician, ever?
SEO: I’m not a politician, I didn’t study to be a politician and I never dreamed that being a politician would be my profession one day. I am a citizen who decided enough is enough, no one with my qualifications, values and principals would ever seek election in Cook County or Chicago. My candidacy and my goals are based on my record and experience as an engineer who grew up in the North Side, went to school in the South Side and worked in the West Side. Modernizing our crumbling infrastructure, stopping urban flooding and job creation are some of the issues facing Chicago and Cook County and I believe it’s high time and long overdue for someone like me to actually start tackling those issues immediately.

N’DIGO: Tell me about your family.
SEO : My family came to America from South Korea with nothing but $20 in their pockets in the late 1980’s. My father and mother worked extremely hard, raised my brother and I, and both built small businesses here in Chicago. Growing up in a small business family, I learned, lived, and understand the values of hard work, perseverance, difficulties, and risks that go along with building, operating, and growing a small business. My family is the living embodiment of the American Dream and they are very proud that I have chosen to run for elected office because they know I can help others with their American dream.
