Election Day Press Release from Barrington Hills Trustee Candidate David Stieper

Campaigning until the last minute, Barrington Hills Trustee David Stieper has issued this press release:

David Stiepler

Barrington Hills- Supporters of David Stieper, candidate for a 4-year term on the Village of Barrington Hills Board of Trustees, will meet tonight at the Penny Road Pub at 7:30 P.M. to celebrate with him the end of the election campaign and hopefully confirm his victory later in the evening.

David believes his message of the importance of independent Board Members was embraced by Village residents, due in part to the contentious tenor of the opposing Abboud supported slate “Save5Acres” and the “Common Sense Party”.

David conducted an issues oriented campaign and avoided the personal attacks often associated with slate and party campaigns.

Unlike the opposing slate ($90,000) and party ($140,000) in campaign donations, Citizens for Stieper, a single candidate committee, raised just over $15,000.

The campaign was run by David and his wife, Darla, with moral support by a few loyal friends.

David’s goal was to prove that a lone, independent candidate could run a quality campaign on modest resources without the assistance of a professional consultant.

Should he prevail, David believes that other residents will be encouraged by his example to run in future elections as true independents obviating the need for high cost slates and parties in our small community of just 1,500 households.

Stieper surmises that a significant victory in this election “would be a mandate for Independence on our Board, not a mandate for David Stieper.”
