The final day of candidate filing added four more contested village president and mayoral races in the Fox Valley to what was already shaping up to be a spring election with possible sweeping changes in local government.
Geneva, East Dundee, Hampshire and West Dundee will all have contested races for the top spot in local government.
Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns has been part of the city government since 1997. To keep that streak alive, he ll face a rematch of the 2017 election. Resident Tom Simonian will take another shot at unseating Burns.
Simonian has remained highly critical of the way things are done in Geneva over the last four years. He lost to Burns by about 1,500 votes in their first contest.
