Hanover Park Trustee Shahjahan to run again, declines spot on mayor s slate Hanover Park Trustee Sharmin Shahjahan

Hanover Park Village Trustee Sharmin Shahjahan will run for reelection on the April 6 ballot, but not as part of the Hanover Park Strong slate organized by Mayor Rod Craig. I ve done a lot of good work in my first four years as trustee and would like to continue to serve the community, Shahjahan said. Mayor Craig asked me to run on his slate, but with (Trustee) Rick (Roberts) and (Village Clerk) Eira (Corral Sepulveda) leaving the board, I did not know all the candidates on the slate and I felt more comfortable running independently, as I did last time. This gives voters an opportunity to assess each candidate.
