Chris Trzeciak: Message To The Voters

Dear neighbors,

For those who do not know me, my name is Chris Trzeciak and I am one of four candidates seeking election to a seat on the Evergreen Park Village Board at the upcoming election on Tuesday, April 7th. I want to thank the many people who have supported me throughout this campaign so far. I can honestly say this has been a challenging process, but I also believe it has been a successful one. I said early on that one of the primary goals of my campaign was to stir up interest in our local election and to increase voter turnout. I believe we are well on the path to meeting that goal.

I am running as a self-supported independent candidate this election. This means that I have not accepted campaign contributions from anyone and that my entire campaign was financed by me personally. It also means that I am a true independent voice, not bound by any local political ties. I am a lifelong resident of Evergreen Park and have been serving as on the EPHS Dist. #231 Board of Education for the past eight years. I have served the last two as Board President and during that time maintained a healthy budget while completing numerous facility improvements. I encourage residents to talk to parents, faculty members, students, and other EPHS stakeholders if they would like to gain insight into the many recent accomplishments of the high school. As a board member I have contributed to many of these accomplishments, but must emphasize that every achievement has been a collective effort due in no small part to the many, many people who volunteer their time.

Volunteerism is another issue that is very important to me. I want to extend a special thank you to my fellow Board of Education members, our colleagues at elementary District #124 as well as the Evergreen Park Library Board. I hope residents fully understand the amount of responsibility these folks take on and that they do so as unpaid volunteers. The enormous commitment of time and energy these people put in and the amount they get accomplished is nothing short of amazing. I know I do it because I love my community and I am committed to public service. Watching our students and young people flourish is very gratifying and has much intrinsic value.

On April 7th I will be asking for your support as a candidate for a seat on the Evergreen Park Village Board as a Trustee. If elected, I will be the only independent on the board and the only non-party member. I strive to be a collaborative person in all that I do and will be more than happy to work with the other elected officials regardless of political affiliation. I commit to you that if elected I will ask tough questions, I will support anything that is positive or clearly beneficial to the residents of our community, I will inject new ideas, and I will seek further positive changes through constructive channels. I am now asking you, the voter to seriously consider supporting me on April 7th. I am a vested member of this community and I truly want this job. I am excited for the opportunity we have here to do some great things, but it starts with the people in power – the voters. You have to go out on Election Day and exercise that power. Whether you support me, my opponents, or a combination thereof, please do your research and come out and vote. Remember that your vote is your voice.
