Lemont Mayor Endorses Rep. Dan Lipinski For March Primary

LEMONT, IL — Several local mayors, including Lemont Mayor John Egofske, have endorsed Representative Dan Lipinski in his reelection campaign. 28 mayors from across the Third Congressional district have endorsed the incumbent for the March primary, according to a release.

Lipinski said in a release the support from the local leaders of his home district is the best possible endorsement he could receive.

“I am honored to have the continued support of so many elected officials in my district who work so hard every day to make their communities great places to live,” said Lipinski.

“As someone who knows Dan Lipinski personally and for all the support he has provided to our local issues here in our town of Lemont, I’m proud to support Congressman Lipinski," Egofske said in a release.

“The congressman’s common-sense approach to addressing problems has benefited our region and the village of Lemont and he has led the way in obtaining additional Metra service on the Heritage Corridor and continues to fight for additional commuter train service. He’s actively working with the village and the Army Corps of Engineers to provide sorely-needed federal resources for our local water infrastructure. In Congress, Dan Lipinski is a voice of reason and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the years to come.”

Other mayors and village presidents who have endorsed Lipinski include: Alice Gallagher of Western Springs, Bob Lovero of Berwyn, Bob Straz of Palos Heights, Chuck Tokar of Chicago Ridge, Dan Foy of Burbank, Dave Brady of Bedford Park, Dennis McGee of Merrionette Park, Jacob Vandenberg of Tinley Park, Jeff Walik of Stickney, Jerry Bennett of Palos Hills, John Carpino of Willow Springs, John Mahoney of Palos Park, John Noak of Romeoville, John Ryan of Alsip, Kevin Casey of Hometown, Kris Wasowicz of Justice, Kyle Hastings of Orland Hills, Mary Werner of Worth, Mike Howley of Hickory Hills, Noel Cummings of Hodgkins, Ray Soliman of Crest Hill, Sandra Bury of Oak Lawn, Steve Landek of Bridgeview, Steve Streit of Lockport, Tom Heller of Forest View, Tom Hinshaw of Indian Head Park and Tom Livingston of La Grange.
