I ran in the first election and won a full term on April 4, 2017. The last four years I was fiscally responsible, but also feel that the trustees act as a check and balance system to make sure that the taxpayer’s money is used in a way to benefit all Hanover Park residents.”

Shahjahan feels, “ I am the first Asian American on the Hanover Park Village Board and worked hard to develop others in our community to expand our representation. I am a community voice on the board. I will be kept moving in the same way which I proved in the last four years and discuss issues that may be hard to address. We need to continue to balance our budget for the township. We should be proactive about public safety for our residents. I will continue to work with the Township Board as works well as with residents and organizations to make sure our needs and requirements are met.”

Past four years, I worked to close this gap by partnering with schools and community organizations. Listening to and learning from residents, businesses and community partners is the cornerstone of her tenure. Shahjahan continued.
