In his answers, Glotz contended 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 focused 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."
