For Your Consideration for Mayor of Midlothian

As a twice-elected Village Trustee and resident of Midlothian, I want to go on record as endorsing Gary L’Heureux for the office of Village President/Mayor of Midlothian.

I’ve had the privilege to work with many leaders of our great state. I’ve known Mayor Gary L’Heureux for 10 years. I know Gary to be an honest hard-working public servant who treats all people with respect and fairness.

Four years ago every member of the current Village Board and the Village Clerk endorsed and supported Gary L’Heureux for Mayor. We did so because we knew Gary to be a selfless, humble advocate for the residents of Midlothian. In his 4 years in office, Gary has validated our faith in him by keeping his promises to our residents.

The Village has faced some extreme challenges during Mayor Gary’s first term including a 100-year flood, a tornado, and a worldwide pandemic. Through it all, he has guided the village forward working with other elected officials and even his critics.

I have observed as a trustee over the last 4 years the trustee opponent in this election actively hinders his efforts and takes credit for herself at every opportunity. In response Gary has never craved credit for his administration's accomplishments, he has been courteous and given credit when credit is due.

That’s why 2 former Midlothian Mayors, a Board of Review Commissioner, a County Board Commissioner, 3 current trustees, and our Village Clerk have endorsed his reelection to name just a few of the people that agree with me.

I ask residents of Midlothian to support Mayor Gary L’Heureux and his entire Midlothian First Party in the Tuesday, April 6 election.
