Thomas Hood for Gurnee Mayor

“I love Gurnee‐‐its rich personality, its history."

Gurnee is a great place to live, work and raise a family. Whether it is our innovative schools, parks and outdoor spaces, the business community, shopping, or our many entertainment options, we’re all enjoying a community built by the efforts and planning of past Village administrations. As a lifelong resident of Gurnee, I can say that Gurnee has come a long way from its rural farm community roots.

As your mayor over the past four years, I have worked to strengthen our economic and business base after the pandemic—adding some exciting businesses, growing revenues and planning for a strong future.   Safety has been my number one priority, strengthening and expanding our police department and installing state-of-the-art safety prevention equipment.  I have supported air quality monitoring and worked with one of our State Reps to introduce legislation for fence line monitoring. I have worked to bring us together and strengthen us as a community, adding neighborhood and community events and involving our many talented residents in various commissions and committees.

I enjoyed meeting and hearing from many of you, whether at a Coffee with the Mayor, a neighborhood block party, Bonfires and Brews or other Village events.  It is our residents that make Gurnee great and together we will move Gurnee forward.  There’s much to come– I ask for your vote and the opportunity to serve you and lead Gurnee for another 4 years.”
