INDIAN AMERICAN GAUTAM BHATIA ELECTED AS NAPERVILLE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE

Indian American Gautam Bhatia was elected to the Naperville Township trustee board at-large in DuPage County, Illinois, last week. But Bhatia, who is the chair of the Naperville Township Democrats, representing Aurora, Naperville, and Warrenville towns in Illinois, is excited not just about his victory but also because of the wave of Democratic candidates elected across the City of Aurora and the City of Naperville; where the first Indian-American city council member Ashfaq Syed also won. Bhatia has been involved with the Naperville Township Democrats since 2018, first as a precinct committee member and then as chair.

Naperville Township has a five-member board with four trustees and the vote of the supervisor. Trustees are representatives of the public, and they vote on various important matters including approval of annual town budgets and tax levies; audit and approval of monthly bills and claims and funding for community programmes.
