EVERGREEN PARK, IL Wishing to derail social media rumors, James Sexton, the mayor of Evergreen Park for 20 years announced his retirement in a letter to constituents. Sexton also endorsed State Rep. Kelly Burke, also a village trustee, for mayor in the April 6, 2021 election.
Although rumors of his retirement had been swirling around for the past month, Sexton s announcement Thursday surprised some people. Forty years ago, I decided to get involved in Evergreen Park government and serve the people; here I am, forty years later, with an extremely heavy heart to let you know that I will be stepping down as Mayor in April.
