"Trustee Susan Buchanan is a coalition builder with an impressive track record on public safety and equity. I'm especially proud of her work as co-founder of Oak Park Climate Action Network (OPCAN), fighting to reduce Oak Park's carbon footprint. She is a principled and thoughtful leader deeply committed to issues impacting everyday people. I'm supporting Trustee Buchanan because I know she will always put the concerns of Oak Parkers first." —Kina Collins

"I've worked with Dr. Buchanan through professional connections in Chicago. But, what impresses me the most is that she loves being a trustee! During her "free time "she does a deep dive into all of the reading materials so that she will make the most informed decision for the residents of Oak Park. Her dedication to improving Oak Park is unsurpassed! I heartily tell all of my Oak Park friends to vote for Susan Buchanan. " - Rev. C.J. Hawking

Dr. Susan Buchanan has brought a thoughtful, inclusive, collaborative approach to building a more environmentally sustainable, more diverse, and more just Oak Park. She leads with discernment and with the interest of residents in mind. I appreciate her forward-thinking vision for a resilient, net-zero Village -- a responsible, necessary focus in light of the challenges increasingly posed by our climate crisis. I am proud to have had Dr. Susan Buchanan representing me and my family as a Trustee on our Village Board. She's the kind of leader we need, and I endorse her re-election without hesitation.
