Today, the Fox Valley Building & Construction Trades Council officially endorsed Richard Irvin for his reelection as Mayor of Aurora.

“We applaud Mayor Irvin’s continued efforts and vision for bringing new development and revitalization to areas of the City that have been for years either neglected or passed over for redevelopment. Mayor Irvin has ensured that the Building Trades are at the table when it comes to many City-endorsed or sponsored development projects. The City of Aurora and the region as a whole benefit in many ways when these projects are completed on time, under budget, and safely by the highly skilled and experienced tradespersons of the unionized building trades.”

Please vote to reelect Mayor Irvin in the April 1st Consolidated Election.
