In the mayoral race, incumbent Martin Natoli is going up against former trustee Michael Shover.
Both Natoli and Shover said they believe the infrastructure of the village should be improved.
Natoli said he hopes to focus on the drainage in the village, hoping to gain access to federal grants to help pay for the work. He also wants to work toward beautifying areas of the village.
Shover said he also wants to combat wasteful spending.
“I am very concerned about fiscal responsibility,” Shover said.
Shover, who said he has a background in project management, said he was concerned about the village’s budget.
Shover also announced his urge to digitize the filing process of the village, saying that everything was still done by pen and paper.
