JEFF BOARINI FOR MAYOR
“I will put Evanston residents' needs and interests first”
- Jeff Boarini
TRANSPARENT
We must know what is being planned and how decisions are made.
Building a transparent government that responds to residents' needs is my goal. Engaging the expertise in our Boards and Commissions to develop solutions that benefit every Evanston resident is the path forward.
ACCOUNTABLE
We must be clear about who is responsible for what. Clarity builds trust.
Taking responsibility is crucial to Evanston’s leadership and the city’s wellbeing. Implementing a team that can openly discuss the community’s concerns is not only good business but also leads to possible solutions.
COMMITTED
I am committed solely to better government in Evanston.
Basing decisions on the needs of the people who live here is the foundation of a healthy city. Welcoming every voice, including those that are in disagreement, is the way to lead.
Why I'm running for mayor
After 34 years here, raising my son in our public schools and advocating for our disability community, I've seen both what makes Evanston special and where there is a need to improve. Evanston deserves transparent leadership that puts its residents' interests and needs first. Leadership that not only unites our community and turns good ideas into real results, but also champions equity in action, not just words. I’m committed to bringing this leadership to Evanston.
PRIORITIES
Envision Evanston
Residents want a thorough, well-defined Comprehensive Plan and subsequent rezoning that works for all of Evanston.
​​
Affordability
“Too expensive” is a lament we hear across all of Evanston. Every dollar we can save on the city budget will help with affordability. ​​
Downtown & Economic Development
A vibrant, energetic downtown is essential to the brand of Evanston. ​​​​
Affordable Housing
Increasing density will not create truly affordable housing.​​ We want and need more and can create it.
District 65
The state of District 65 reflects what can happen when a board pursues its own agenda.
​​
Northwestern
Is an integral part of our community. Can we forge a real partnership?
​​
Financial competency
Nothing in the City or the City budget stands alone.
​​
Evanston resident's deserve to know that their Mayor’s highest and foremost commitment is to the city
I am not a career politician.
