2025

Shaping the future with dedicated leaders committed to progress, inclusivity, and community growth.

Mark Elkins for Hanover Park Village President 2025

Proven Leadership. A Vision for the Future.

A Leader Who Works for You

“You’ve heard the expression, ‘You can’t fight City Hall.’ But you shouldn’t have to! Government should work for you—not the other way around. City Hall should be on your side, making life easier, not harder. As your Village President, I will ensure that Hanover Park serves its citizens with fairness, transparency, and accountability—because a village that works for its people is a village that thrives”

As a lifelong member of this community, I know what it means to work hard, raise a family, and give back. For years, I’ve dedicated my time to mentoring young athletes, coaching soccer, and supporting youth development. As a working professional, I understand the struggles of rising costs, job security, and balancing life’s responsibilities. I will fight for policies that make Hanover Park a place where working families and businesses can thrive.
