Letter: Record of success for DuPage chairman

I support Republican Greg Hart for Chairman of the DuPage County Board. In his five years on the board, he has shown strong leadership by chairing important committees including Health and Human Services and the Heroin and Opioids Task Force.

He led the integration of psychiatric services into the Health Department, saving taxpayers nearly $1 million, and he initiated job training for drug patients and supported a new drug court. These earned two separate awards from the National Association of Counties.

As chair of the Technology Committee, he oversaw the transition to a new property tax system. He is a strong supporter of law enforcement to address rising crime in the region and works to promote DuPage businesses and the jobs they create. He has worked to improve infrastructure, simplify processes, control costs and taxes and improve accessibility and efficiency.

Greg Hart has been recognized and endorsed by many respected DuPage leaders. His education, business experience and leadership in DuPage County make him the person for the role of DuPage County Board chair.
