| Top three issues: (Answer each in 25 or fewer words) | 1) Development/Image. West Chicago needs to be more proactive in its search for respectable businesses and to quit taking whatever comes "knocking at the door" |
| 2) Conflict of interest. My opponent currently is a paid employee of the Chamber of Commerce. In my opinion, this is a huge conflict of interest. | |
| 3) Safety. Over crowding as it is referred to is a safety issue. No one wants to wake up and see a headline saying "15 die in house fire". We need to keep working on codes that protect people. |

To the people of Ward 2 in West Chicago
Thank you for the overwhelming support you showed on April 1st , it was truly humbling! I would also like to thank the people who took time out of their busy day to discuss their concerns with me.
Your insights and worries gave direction to my campaign and helped solidify the issues to be brought to the City Council. I truly enjoyed meeting the people I will be serving.
To those of you that went to the polls on Election Day, a very sincere “thank you” is extended. Your votes not only supported me, but confirmed that the people of Ward 2 care about their community and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
I plan to continue my neighborhood walks to talk with you. Please feel free to stop me on the street or contact me with any kudos or concerns at 293-1678.
Sincerely,
Greg Kauth
Alderman-Elect
