Do you know all eight hopefuls running for City Council?
On Nov. 4, 2024, Naperville City Manager Krieger officiated during a lottery to determine the ballot order of seven City Council candidates in line at 8AM Oct. 21, to submit petition packets on the first day to file. Candidates who filed on the last day would be last on the ballot.
That lottery day, the ballot order of City Council hopefuls was #1, Benny White; #2, Mary Gibson; #3, Jennifer Bruzan Taylor; #4, Ian Holzhauer; #5, Derek McDaniel; #6, Meghna Bansal; and #7, Ashfaq Syed. With today’s ruling, #8 on the ballot will be Nag Jaiswal.
