Glotz, Maloney Go Head To Head For Tinley Mayoral Seat: Election 2025

TINLEY PARK, IL — Election Day is finally here, residents' long-awaited end to a campaign season rife with robocalls, political attacks and social media mudslinging.

Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz fights to keep his seat against challenger Michael Maloney.

Glotz leads his One Tinley Park slate, flanked by incumbent Village Clerk Nancy O'Connor and trustee candidates William Brady, Dennis Mahoney and Colleen Sullivan.

They go up against Maloney's Tinley Together. Maloney is joined by clerk candidate Cynthia “Cindy” O’Boyle and trustee candidates Melissa Sanfilippo, Eric Schmidt and Matthew Walsh.

Patch sent questionnaires to candidates, and their answers are now published in their candidate profiles, linked below.

One Tinley Park

• Michael Glotz
• Nancy O'Connor
• William Brady
• Dennis Mahoney

Tinley Together

• Melissa Sanfilippo
• Eric Schmidt
• Matthew Walsh

In his answers, Glotz contends the most pressing issues facing our Village are keeping crime low, prioritizing fiscal responsibility, economic development, and cleaning up the Tinley Park Mental Health Center.

"When it comes to fiscal responsibility, we have frozen property taxes for two years in a row while still prioritizing smart investments in our Village," Glotz wrote in his questionnaire. "When it comes to the Tinley Park Mental Health Center, we have to make sure it’s cleaned up safely and quickly and then developed into something that ALL residents want to see, with as little cost to the taxpayers as possible."

Challenger Maloney's platform focuses on property tax relief, fixing water bills and fees, supporting police, and restoring trust in local government.

"Our community is built on hardworking families, strong neighborhoods, and a shared commitment to making Tinley Park a great place to live," Maloney wrote in his questionnaire. "But right now, many residents are feeling the strain of rising costs, public safety concerns, and a government that feels disconnected from the people it serves. It’s time for leadership that listens, brings people together, and puts residents first."
