Brad Kosirog appointed to fill Geneva City Council vacancy

After sorting through 10 candidates, Geneva City Council members have found their new alderman.

Brad Kosirog, who has served on Geneva's planning and zoning commission since 2016, was appointed at Tuesday's city council meeting as a Ward 2 alderman to replace Michael Clements, who resigned in July.

Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns made the appointment, which was approved unanimously.

"It's an honor to have the confidence of the mayor and my colleagues on the city council to fill this position," Kosirog said in a statement. "I look forward to getting to know the residents of the 2nd Ward, including their passions and interests."

Kosirog, who owns a fastener distributorship in Warrenville, and his family moved to Geneva in 2014. He's been on the board of directors for the Geneva Academic Foundation and the Geneva Community Chest, and he's worked as a Kane County election judge for the last four years.

"I am grateful to aldermen Rich Marks, Craig Maladra and Tara Burghart who led the interview process and advanced Mr. Kosirog's nomination, which received the City Council's unanimous vote of support," Burns said in a statement.
