Name: Richard Ahrens
Position for which you are a candidate: Dundee Township Trustee
Why are you seeking this position?
I believe this current board has done great work addressing the needs of the community while keeping the Township fiscally responsible. I would love to continue this work.
What experience and background do you have which qualifies you for this position?
I have 8 years with this board and I have 40 years in village government and public works.
What will be your highest priorities if elected?
Keep taxes under control!
I am all for the enjoyment of Open Space by the community. I also believe there needs to be someplace to go for mental health related issues. I know we, as a board, have done a great job making sure that both of these Township programs are receiving everything that is necessary while continuing to keep the township taxes low.
