Endorsement: Wagner for Villa Park president

Voters in Villa Park will be selecting a new leader to replace outgoing village president Al Bulthuis and they have two very well-qualified options.

Nick Cuzzone is a small-business owner who has served as a village trustee for six years and has a long history of civic involvement before joining the board.

Bob Wagner is finishing his second term on the village board and has previously served on the Villa Park Library Board and number of other municipal committees and groups in the village.

Both candidates agree on many of the key issues facing the community in the next couple of years.

Both Cuzzone and Wagner would like to see more diverse mix of businesses in town.

Both candidates are long-time village residents and would make excellent leaders.

The voters in Villa Park are lucky to have two good options, and we would feel very comfortable endorsing either candidate. But we find Wagner's diverse and extensive experience in village government will give him a great chance to hit the ground running as the village emerges from the grip of COVID-19 and undertakes new long-term challenges.

Wagner is endorsed.
