Josh StellVillage Trustee, Minooka, IL
“There was no one on the board who was under the age of 55, despite about 70% of the village of Minooka being under the age of 55. In seeing that, I really wanted to be the voice for people my age — people that want to live in Minooka for a long time yet to come.”
Andy FeketeSchool Board Member, Huntley, IL
“My personal politics do not belong in school or on the school board. This is an independent, nonpartisan role. I'm not taking money from any outside individuals.”
Raymond SchwarzkopfLibrary Trustee, Oak Lawn, IL
“My campaign really was about empowering patrons and supporting the staff. I wanted to increase the library engagement. It was very important to me that the job of a library trustee, as any trustee in a municipality, is to maximize the taxpayers' dollars.”
