VILLA PARK — Residents and community members packed the second-floor board room of Village Hall Wednesday night to hear the positions, ideas and opinions of the candidates for Villa Park's village president and village trustee positions.

The candidate forum was hosted by the Villa Park Junior Women's Club and facilitated by the club's president, Angie Rojek, who asked the candidates a series of pre-selected questions that had been submitted by residents.

This election has two candidates for the village president seat, to replace current Village President Tom Cullerton, who chose not to run for re-election. Last November, Cullerton was elected to the state senate.
