Candidate’s Biography

My name is William R. "Bill" Bernetich. I am an Attorney, Certified Public Accountant and Masters of Taxation. For the past ten years, I have practiced these disciplines in Rockville, MD. Born into a large family, I am the 5th child of a successful sales-manager and Executive assistant who put all of their children through college. I earned my undergraduate degree from the Ohio State University and my Law Degree and Masters of Science in Taxation from the University of Baltimore. I passed the Bars of Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and Hold a CPA in Maryland and passed the CPA Exam in Ohio.

I am the father of three great children and am an involved parent. I have served as president of my local PTA, I am familiar with the issues facing parents of children in school. From too few books to too little daycare, issues facing parents are of major concern to me.

Last fall, I coached my son's soccer team to an undefeated record. But my proudest accomplishment was that all team members were involved in the success of the season. At our end of season party, I was able to commend each and every child because of their efforts. I have drawn from my experience as a coach by emphasizing teambuilding and setting clear-cut, achievable goals.

I have operated my own firm for the last 12 years after working in the fields for 10 years. I am familiar with the issues facing business having advised businesses for the last 20 years especially small business, where over-regulation and over-reporting requirements adversely affect such businesses.

I heartily supports the GOP vision that "Solutions to problems cannot be found in a pool of bitterness. They can be found in an environment in which we trust one another's word; where we generate heat and passion, but where we recognize that each member is equally important to our overall mission of improving the life of the American people. The four-part common-sense agenda Hastert outlined that day for the 106th Congress - lowering taxes, improving education, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, and bolstering national defense. Under his leadership, the 106th Congress balanced the budget for the fourth year in a row; paid down an historic amount of public debt ($625 billion); locked away 100% of Social Security and Medicare dollars to be spent solely on Social Security and Medicare - not other government programs; sent more education dollars and decision-making to local classrooms; stepped-up and enhanced medical research; and worked to revitalize low-income neighborhoods in urban and rural areas. -- proved to be such a success that in November 2000, the American voters elected another Republican majority to the House."

I chose to run for Congress so that others might benefit from my experience, education and commitment.
