To the Editor:

As the April 9 election approaches, voters in Lombard District 1 face two important choices for local government. As a candidate for District 1 trustee, Dan Whittington has volunteered countless hours in the service of our downtown area, working with other Lombard residents to improve this vital part of our community.

His efforts as both a member and president of the Lombard Town Centre organization clearly demonstrates his commitment to making Lombard and District 1 a better place to live and work. The increase in the number of viable, exciting new businesses, and the positive progress being made, is clear to see.
