Why I am Running

2025 Election Re-Elect J.P. Martin Minerva Park Village Council As a proud resident of Minerva Park for 46 years, I care deeply about the future of our village. It has been an honor to serve on Village Council for the past three years, and I’m asking for your support to continue representing you and working on behalf of our community. My commitment to Minerva Park is built on decades of active involvement and leadership. I currently serve as: • Councilman, Minerva Park Village Council (3 years), focused on practical solutions, transparent communication, and responsive leadership. • Chair of the Services Committee, and active member of both the Safety Committee and Parks & Recreation Committee, supporting initiatives such as public safety enhancements, community events like food trucks, and improvements to outdoor spaces. • Member, Planning & Zoning Commission (since February 2022), working to ensure responsible development while preserving the character of our village. • Founding Member, Minerva Park Food Club, connecting neighbors through shared meals, recipes, and community gatherings. • Founding Member, Minerva Park Walking & Bicycle Club, promoting healthy lifestyles and stronger community ties. I’m seeking re-election because I believe in the power of community and the importance of experienced, steady leadership. I will continue to listen, lead, and act in the best interest of all Minerva Park residents. Let’s keep Minerva Park moving forward—together. Vote to Re-Elect J.P. Martin for Village Council in 2025.
