Tell Us How You Want To Support The Campaign
Nearly four years ago, you entrusted me with the responsibility of serving as Mayor of Naperville. I’m grateful for that trust, and proud of what we’ve accomplished together.
To me, public service means making tough decisions, not avoiding them.
It means protecting what makes Naperville special while preparing for the challenges ahead.
In the coming years, we will face important choices about affordability, growth, infrastructure, public safety, and the long-term strength of our local economy
I believe we can stay safe, competitive, affordable, and welcoming, without losing sight of the values and sense of community that brought so many of us here.
I’m asking for your vote in April 2027 so we can keep moving Naperville forward together.

MEET SCOTT WEHRLI
Naperville is our home.
Naperville is where I grew up, attended public school, worked for my family’s construction business after school, and where I went to college. Naperville is where I raised my family, where I built and grew other companies, and serve as a part-time police officer.
Naperville, and the people who make it so special are my passion.
More about Scott
With our children grown, and my wife and I beginning the next phase of life, I am committed to making sure all of our residents can live, work, volunteer, raise a family or retire and enjoy Naperville – all with continued access to the best schools, healthcare, recreation, local business and city services that make our city one of the greatest places to live in America!
As a local business owner, civil servant, and trustee at two local private schools, public service is central to who I am.
Consistent with my beliefs, my platform has four central objectives: Public Safety, Economic Development, “The People’s Money” and Experienced Leadership.
A vibrant community, providing world class public safety to its citizens allows for families to flourish and raise their children to be the best they can be.
Thriving local business provides opportunity to our residents, funds our schools and city services while reducing our residential tax burden.
Tax Money is “The People’s Money.” It is worthy of the utmost respect, attention and principled spending policies our community deserves.
Trusted, experienced leadership restores faith in our elected officials and ensures decisions are made for all of our best interests.
I am not interested in making a career out of politics. I believe in paying it forward, helping others, and challenging myself to learn something and teach something every day. I care about the right policy for Naperville – not the sport of political theater.

SCOTT’S PRIORITIES FOR THE FUTURE
Public Safety: Keeping Naperville Safe
The number one job of local government and my job as mayor is to keep you and your family safe. Naperville is known for being a safe place to live, work, and raise a family. Living without the constant fear of street crime is a prime reason people live, shop, and do business here. After retiring as a lieutenant with the Park District Police Department for 35 years, I bring a lot of experience and strong relationships with law enforcement to my role as mayor. Like many of you, I am concerned about some of the trends and incidents we have seen. I will continue to lead with a clear vision, steady leadership, and a firm belief that politics has no place in public safety.
Economic Development: Keeping Naperville Affordable
I believe that with the right local leadership and a clear vision, we can protect the high quality of life that makes Naperville unique, while keeping our community a place people can afford to call home. A major part of my work as mayor is focused on economic development: retaining the businesses we have, recruiting new investment, and creating more opportunity here in Naperville. From my decades as a business owner, community banker, and nonprofit trustee, I’ve learned what it takes to get deals done and what kind of environment organizations need to grow, thrive, and invest.
And across Naperville, we’re seeing real signs of progress.
Fiscal RESPONSIBILITY: Respecting “The People’s Money”
I understand that every tax, fee, and utility bill impacts your family’s budget. That’s why I’ve worked to bring discipline, transparency, and common sense to how our city spends money, drawing on my experience as a business owner and community banker. I believe Naperville can remain one of the best places to live in America while honoring the hard-earned money of the people who make our city great. The idea is simple: every dollar belongs to you, the taxpayer, not the government. Fiscal responsibility isn’t just about numbers. It’s about trust, protecting families, respecting the people’s money, and making sure Naperville stays affordable for everyone.
Experienced Leadership: Keeping Naperville’s VALUES
For Naperville to thrive in the years ahead, we can’t sit back and count past victories. We have to build on our success so we can do even better for the next generation.
The next four years will matter.
We need leaders who will protect our neighborhoods, keep taxes reasonable, support a strong business climate, and make sure Naperville stays a great place for families, seniors, young professionals, and small businesses. With your continued support we can preserve the character of our community while planning responsibly for growth and change.
