Trustee Johnson states, "As a stakeholder in Maywood, I want to continue our mission of “Maywood on the Move.” Our community is a nucleus of extraordinary possibility because of its location to Chicago and the western suburbs. In addition, our village is a bounty of untapped resources that have the potential to make Maywood economically strong, publicly and privately safe, recreationally diverse, historically significant, and culturally enriched. I will not give up on Maywood, and I am honored that the citizens have entrusted me, and the all elected officials, with the duties of carrying out the mission to its completion."
