Experience hallmark of Aurora candidate

Aurora has and has had fine leaders. One of those is 6th Ward Alderman Mike Saville, who is running to be our next mayor.

With over 30 years of dedicated service and experience in local government, Mike Saville has been an integral part of this city's success. With his experience on the Planning Commission, projects such as the River Walk and Rivers Edge Park have added beautification to our downtown area. An advocate of green spaces, five new parks have been added to his ward in recent years for Aurorans to enjoy.

Fiscal responsibility is a hallmark of his tenure, having balanced budgets for over thirty consecutive years. He has demonstrated leadership in economic development, desiring to promote business interests and increasing the tax base.

He has co-sponsored the Crime Free Housing ordinance for safer neighborhoods. A proponent of historic preservation, Mike Saville strives to meet a balance between preserving and upgrading older areas while supporting new economic expansion.

What should matter to a city electing a new mayor? Mike Saville answers that question with his significant experience, leadership and dedicated service, and a willingness to reach out to others to accomplish expanding horizons for Aurora.
