On The Issues

Under Joe Cantore’s innovative and proven leadership, the Forest Preseve District of DuPage County is one of the most popular and fiscally prudent in Illinois. The numbers don’t lie.
4,000,000 visitors every year who enjoy the 26,000 acres of open space, 145 miles of trails, 60 preserves, and 6 education centers.
580 annual programs, which provide children and adults many opportunities to enjoy the forest preserves to learn about and experience nature.
15% decrease in operating expenses while providing the same award-winning natural areas and services our residents expect.
10 minutes You’re never more than 10 minutes away from a DuPage Forest Preserve, no matter where you are in the county.
Over $7,000,000 in savings since Joe Cantore was elected president in 2014 by limiting spending, cutting operating expenses, reducing the tax levy, restructuring pension eligible earnings to stop pension spiking, and eliminating pensions for elected officials.
