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 the opportunity to serve the community I love, and proud of what we’ve accomplished together.
To me, public service means making tough decisions, not avoiding them.
It’s also about protecting what makes Naperville unique, while preparing for the challenges ahead.
In the next four 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 remain 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 served as a part-time police officer.
Naperville, and the people who make it so special are my passion.
More about Scott
Now that our children are grown and my wife and I are beginning a new chapter, I want to help ensure Naperville remains a place where people can live, work, volunteer, raise a family, and retire with confidence. I am committed to keeping our city strong, with excellent schools, quality healthcare, outstanding recreation, thriving local businesses, and reliable city services.
As a local business owner, community banker, retired law enforcement officer, and trustee at two non-profit schools, public service has always been at the center of my life.
My platform is built on four priorities: public safety, economic development, responsible oversight of “The People’s Money,” and experienced leadership.
A safe, strong community free from the threat of crime helps families thrive and gives every child the opportunity to reach their full potential,
Supporting local businesses and advancing economic development creates opportunities for residents, strengthens the tax base that funds schools and city services, and helps reduce pressure for higher property taxes on your home. Growing our local economy is essential to keeping Naperville affordable and accessible for the people who call it home.
Tax dollars are “The People’s Money.” Your hard-earned money deserves respect, careful oversight, and responsible spending, consistent with our community’s priorities and needs.
Experienced and trusted leadership, grounded in our city’s history, gives people confidence that decisions are being made thoughtfully, transparently, and for the benefit of the entire community.
I am not looking to make politics a new career. I believe in paying it forward, helping others, and learning something new every day. My vote will always be guided by what is best for Naperville, not by partisan influences or political maneuvering.

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. Like many of you, I am concerned about some of the trends and incidents we have seen. For 35 years, I worked for the Naperville Park District Police Department before retiring as a lieutenant. I bring the relationships, experience, and training gained over decades of law enforcement service to my role as mayor. 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.
