Evergreen Park voters head to the polls on April 6. (Lorraine Swanson/Patch)
EVERGREEN PARK, IL Evergreen Park s normally uneventful mayoral elections suddenly got more interesting after Mayor James Sexton announced his retirement in December after 20 years. Sexton s Good Government/United Homeowners slate continues with three trustee seats up for renewal in a contested race between five candidates, although one challenger appears to have ghosted the campaign trail.
The village is poised to elect its first female mayor, with State Rep./Village Trustee Kelly Burke and resident Shawn Good running to fill the departing mayor s seat. Burke has represented the the 36th District in the Illinois House since 2010. She successfully ran for Evergreen Park village trustee in 2019. If elected mayor, she plans to hold dual offices, which is allowed under the Illinois Constitution. Burke says she will give up her private law practice.
One candidate has been the subject of a federal investigation. Another stands charged in a red-light camera case. Another was charged with taking part in a gambling ring. All are among the mayors and village presidents running for reelection in Chicago’s suburbs in Tuesday’s general municipal election.
