We live in one of the greatest cities in America. This isn’t just our opinion—it’s fact, proven by national rankings.
Naperville has been great to my family. We’re blessed to enjoy the nationally ranked schools, great parks, safe neighborhoods, and thriving downtown. That’s why I spend so much time giving back to our community by serving on local boards and supporting community charities and events. I want to give back and ensure the next generation gets to enjoy everything we love about our city.
That’s why I’m running for city council. I want to protect Naperville’s future.
It’s our vibrant economy in Naperville that makes our city the best place to raise a family because it funds all the things we have come to expect in Naperville. To fuel this engine, we must continue to responsibly expand our tax base through economic development.
On the city council, I will utilize my experience as a small business owner and leader in the Naperville Chamber of Commerce to look for smart and responsible development opportunities. This will expand our tax base, bringing needed revenue to the city without increasing the cost of living for our residents.
With the cost of living rising for all Americans, especially here in Illinois, it’s more important than ever our local leaders work to reduce costs for families struggling to keep up. I will protect your tax dollars.
If voters elect me to the city council, I will work closely with the mayor, my fellow council members, and our excellent city staff to ensure we are respecting your hard-earned tax dollars and spending them as wisely as possible.
As a financial expert and community leader, I have extensive experience managing municipal budgets as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in assets for families and businesses. I’m one of the only non-incumbent candidates for city council who has held public office and managed tax dollars. I have a proven track record of asking tough questions and being a fiscally responsible steward of the public’s money.
One of the main reasons our real estate values are so strong and people want to live here is because our neighborhoods, downtown, and even schools are so safe. With Chicago and Cook County violence spilling into our safe communities, public safety must remain a top priority. I will protect your family.
Our police department in Naperville has already put in place many of the criminal justice reforms needed to ensure fairness while maintaining safety. I will continue to fight for our local leaders and law enforcement to be able to make decisions that are best for Naperville rather than having their hands tied because of laws passed by politicians in Springfield.
There are good people running for city council with good intentions, but their policies will radically change Naperville for the worse. Issues like our economy and safety are serious, and if we don’t elect leaders who will prioritize those issues, our community will be at risk of losing everything that makes Naperville so special.
Elect me to the Naperville City Council to bring balance and financial expertise to the board. Together, we will ensure Naperville remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

Naperville has been great to my family. We’re blessed to enjoy the amazing schools, parks, and amenities. Our children enjoy opportunities here they wouldn’t get anywhere else.

During these difficult times, with a recession looming on the horizon, we must do more with less. I am concerned about the dramatic increases in spending over the past four years. From 2016-2019, the city’s budget only increased $5.6 million—but from 2020-2023, our budget exploded by $136.1 million. Some of this spending was driven by the pandemic, but regardless, our city’s finances are on an unsustainable path. Especially since Naperville’s infrastructure is aging and a lot of it will need to be replaced, a significant expense for which we must plan now if we don’t want that expense to fall on the backs of our residents in the form of higher taxes.
We all agree with the need to keep Naperville affordable so families, especially our seniors, can afford to continue living here. We all agree with the need for more affordable housing in Naperville while protecting our home values. We all agree with the need to have a long term, sustainable plan in place to address our city’s infrastructure needs. Elect a financial professional to the city council to make these things a reality.
Our police department in Naperville is second to none. They do an excellent job keeping us safe. But with crime increasing all around us, we cannot take the safety of our communities and families for granted.
We all feel it. The carjackings, the violence, the crime—it feels like it’s getting closer and closer. Chicago and Cook County violence continues to spill over into our safe communities, and with Springfield starting to adopt many of the same policies, families are rightfully concerned about the future.
I believe in local control. Especially here in Naperville, where our police department has already put in place many of the criminal justice reforms needed to ensure fairness while maintaining safety. As a leader in Naperville, I will continue to fight for our local leaders and law enforcement to be able to make decisions that are best for Naperville rather than having their hands tied because of laws passed by politicians in Springfield.
One of the main reasons our real estate values are so strong and people want to live here is because our neighborhoods, downtown, and even schools are so safe. If we lose that image of being a safe community, people will no longer want to move here, families will pull their kids out of public schools, and our economy will suffer—then, we will no longer be ranked among the best places to live. Public safety must remain a top priority.
