My name is Bob Barnett.

Thank you all for the help and support over the last several months… folks like you are what make this worth doing. 

It’s a cliché, but true – through the campaign process, I’ve had the good fortune of meeting many fellow residents I would never otherwise have met and I’ve gotten the opportunity to grow closer to those I already knew.  I am grateful for, and humbled by your support.

Tuesday was a special evening and one I’ll not soon forget.  It is truly an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve your community in elected office. I sincerely appreciate the voters trust in me and I recognize the responsibility that comes with that trust.

I want to extend my congratulations to Marilyn Schnell and Bill Waldack for their well run, appropriately focused campaigns – be sure to congratulate them and thank them for their service thus far.

The road ahead will have its challenges for Downers Grove but in each challenge lies opportunity.  With your help, we’ll make the most of those opportunities and continue to prove our community is one of uncommon value, unique neighborhoods and extraordinary residents.  

Please know you can contact me any time – together and with your help, we can and will have a brighter tomorrow for our Village.

Thank you,

Bob Barnett
