Wehrli To Seek 2nd Term As Naperville Mayor In 2027

NAPERVILLE, IL — Scott Wehrli recently announced that he will seek a second term as Naperville's mayor in 2027.

“Nearly four years ago, my neighbors entrusted me with the responsibility of serving as Mayor of Naperville,” Wehrli said in a statement.

He added, “I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve the community I love, and proud of what we’ve accomplished together, but the job isn’t done and the next four years will matter. We need leaders who will protect our neighborhoods, keep taxes reasonable, support a strong business climate, and make sure Naperville stays a great place for families, seniors, young professionals, and small businesses.”

Wehrli laid out four priorities for Naperville in his campaign announcement. These include improving public safety, keeping the city affordable, improving fiscal responsibility and transparency and upholding the city's values.

Before being elected mayor in 2023, Wehrli spent much of his adult life in local government roles. He served as Naperville's youngest liquor commission member and worked for the Naperville Partnership Board for two decades. He served as that board's chairman for two years.

He owns and operated DuKane Precast.

“I am not looking to make politics a new career,” Wehrli said. “I believe in paying it forward, helping others, and learning something new every day. I’m asking for your vote in April 2027 so we can keep moving Naperville forward together.”
