  • Lombard residents expect to live in a safe community. The Village President’s job is to ensure the security of our community. Anthony supports the Lombard Police and Fire Departments and was part of the board that approved equipment to improve the department’s readiness for future emergencies. His support has resulted in the village purchasing police body cameras, security drones, safety bollards, a CPR machine and a new apparatus. As Village President, Anthony will work closely with the police and fire departments to ensure they have the resources to prevent crime, keep response times low, and build trust between first responders and the communities they serve.

  • Lombard cannot thrive without proper investment in infrastructure. Anthony will prioritize investments in our public facilities, roads, stormwater management, and traffic management systems.

  • Our residents should never be faced with taxes so high they can no longer afford their own home. We need to maintain a balanced budget, because more government spending means more money out of your pocket.

  • As Chairperson of Economic and Community Development, Anthony has brought in numerous new projects to the village through a new economic redevelopment program. He will balance the growth businesses in Lombard while ensuring proper oversight to maintain the integrity of the village and avoid any negative impacts to resident’s property values.

  • While committed to keeping Lombard a vibrant community to raise a family, live and work; we also need to make sure that we create opportunities for all members of our community. Anthony has opened the selection process of village committees to be more transparent and reach beyond the usual small circle of individuals.  This has ensured the most qualified residents from any background have the opportunity to serve.

  • Openness, accountability, and honesty define government transparency. Anthony will work to make sure you will be informed, and your questions will be answered.
