Fiscal responsibility, practical solutions

As a longtime public servant, Ashfaq Syed has been a driving force for positive change in Naperville, with a proven track record of leadership, collaboration and fiscal responsibility. He listens, leads with integrity, engages with residents and gets the job done, qualities we need on the Naperville City Council.

As president of the Naperville Library Board, Ashfaq ensures taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, while maintaining one of the nation’s top-rated library systems, a true gem in our community. He understands budgets, asks the right questions and ensures every dollar benefits residents — the same approach he will take in managing city government.

When Naperville needed leadership for the 2020 Census, Ashfaq stepped up, leading a campaign that resulted in the highest self-reporting rate in the nation, securing millions in funding for our city. With a distinguished career in banking and finance, he will bring fiscal responsibility and practical solutions to city government.

Ashfaq’s leadership extends to strengthening our community. As a board member of Loaves and Fishes, he works to ensure families don’t go hungry. As a Naperville Fire and Police Academy graduate, he understands what first responders need to keep our city safe. And when Naperville faced challenges with new mosque development, Ashfaq worked with neighbors and elected officials to create solutions everyone could support.

Ashfaq leads by bringing people together, showing up, building consensus and moving Naperville forward — responsibly. That’s the leadership we need on City Council.

Vote Ashfaq Syed for Naperville City Council, a proven leader, committed to Naperville’s future and the betterment of all our residents.
