Dean O'Brien is challenging incumbent Mark Mulliner for the 7th Ward seat.

What is the primary reason you are running for this office? We have had the same unresolved issues for the 12 years that I have lived in this ward.

My priority will be to improve the quality of life in Elmhurst by helping to develop a short- and long-term plan to deal with the flood and electricity issues. We also must effectively and more regularly communicate on our progress towards our goals. What sets you apart from the other candidates?

Mark Mulliner: We Need to Return to Debating the Issues and Not Let Personalities Get in the Way

Mulliner's 7th Ward seat is being challenged by newcomer Dean O'Brien.

What is the primary reason you are running for this office?  I love Elmhurst and I believe that it is the best city in the United States.  I have served the people in my role as alderman and I wish to continue serving them.  I promise one thing, and this is that whenever I vote on any issue, I will continue to do what I have in the past and vote for what I truly believe is in the best interest of Elmhurst. What will be your priority if elected? Provide core and essential city services while controlling the costs for those services. The City of Elmhurst needs to continue to control the costs of government while providing the core functions:
 public safety, infrastructure (roads, sewers, water, sidewalks, etc.), economic development to help …
