"As a current elected official in the Village of Sugar Grove, I want to extend my unequivocal support for your continued leadership as Village President. Over the years, your efforts have consistently demonstrated a commitment to the values that make Sugar Grove such a great place to live, work, and raise a family. I firmly believe that under your continued leadership, our village will continue to flourish.

Your approach to development has always centered on smart, thoughtful growth. By ensuring that every project is carefully considered with the best interests of our  residents in mind, you’ve fostered an environment where our village can expand without compromising the needs and quality of life of those who call Sugar Grove home. Your dedication to a “residents-first” mentality is apparent in every decision you make, and that focus is one of the many reasons you’ve earned the trust and respect of our community.

One of the most impressive aspects of your tenure has been your unwavering commitment to public safety. By partnering with the Village Board, you’ve brought our police department into the modern era, ensuring it is equipped to serve a growing and
dynamic population. What is truly remarkable, though, is your ability to achieve this transformation without resorting to bonds or burdening taxpayers. The millions of dollars saved through your careful planning and fiscal stewardship are a testament to
your dedication to keeping the financial health of the village in top shape.

Despite the challenges that come with leadership, you consistently rise above negativity and opposition, always focusing on what is best for Sugar Grove. Your courage in making difficult decisions, coupled with your refusal to let detractors sway you, has
allowed our village to continue progressing in the right direction.

In addition to your work locally, your ability to connect with state and federal legislators has brought significant resources to our community. The grants and support you've secured have been vital in meeting the evolving needs of our residents, and your
proactive approach ensures that Sugar Grove remains well-positioned for future success.

Your fiscal responsibility is another area where you have excelled. With each annual budget, you’ve demonstrated a careful and strategic approach to managing the village’s finances. As a result, Sugar Grove's economic foundation has strengthened, setting the stage for continued prosperity for generations to come.

It is clear to me, as an elected official and a concerned resident, that you are the best person to continue leading Sugar Grove. Your focus on sustainable growth, commitment to safety, fiscal prudence, and ability to make tough decisions with integrity ensure that our village will continue to be a place where people want to live, work, and thrive.

Thank you for your continued service and leadership. I wholeheartedly support your candidacy and look forward to seeing Sugar Grove reach even greater heights under your guidance."
