Citing experience, passion for the community and an eagerness to cut spending, the three candidates for Hoffman Estates mayor explained this week why they should have the support of voters in the April 6 election.
Incumbent Bill McLeod and recently retired Hoffman Estates police lieutenant Mark Mueller shared their positions Monday during a joint Zoom interview with the Daily Herald. Both are running in slates that include three trustee candidates each. Nicholas Waryas, who is running independently, spoke to the Daily Herald by phone afterward.
Mueller said his passion for Hoffman Estates comes from growing up and attending school in the village, followed by a nearly 28-year career in the police department.
