Please SCROLL DOWN for Greg's Background and Experience.
 

We have come a long way in keeping our residents informed and responding to their needs, but let's not stop there.

As Village President I will:

  • Continue our emphasis on service and achieving a balanced budget, being mindful of the serious responsibility owed to the residents of Glen Ellyn to use their tax dollars wisely.
  • Continue to build and maintain bridges between the Village and other taxing bodies to obtain the benefits of cost-effective shared services where possible.
  • Encourage positive economic development while maintaining the strength and character of our community.
  • Listen. Consider the valuable input and recommendations from all of our advisory commissions and encourage the public to participate, while bringing direction and focus to the discussion of issues.
