This video chronicles the vision of Aurora Mayoral Candidate Richard C. Irvin. Richard was born in Aurora's public housing projects. He had to fight to graduate high school. Gangs, drugs, and crime were all within shouting distance. His mother was proud when he received his H.S. diploma. He was the first in his family to do so, but Richard wasn't finished. He went on to serve valiantly in the U.S. Army. He courageously placed himself in harms way as he fought on the frontline in Desert Storm. Against all odds, when Richard returned from war, he went on to earn a Law Degree. He presently owns his own law practice and serves as Alderman At Large for the City of Aurora. If that wasn't enough, Richard now has his eye on the mayor's office. Richard has put together a dream team of advisors who are working tirelessly to get his message out to voters. Richard has a plan to reverse years of neglect that has driven Aurora into a vicious cycle of crime, poverty and disrepair. He recognizes the potential in Aurora and believes that through economic development , strong leadership, and community Aurora can be transformed into a world class city worthy of residency and investment. Included in this short video are photos of Naperville and Oswego Illinois. Both smaller more affluent neighbors. They have been included to emphasize the potential that Aurora has. Richard often speaks of the importance of local elections. He states, "Local politics dictate policy that directly impact residents. Failed local policy will result in failed schools and unemployment. Local budgets determine if streets are cleaned in the summer and plowed in the winter. They decide who works for the city and which infrastructure repairs will be made. Local politicians decide how fairly or unfairly city contracts are awarded." He strongy believes that It is even more important to vote in regional elections than national. If you are not registered to vote, get registered today! If you are registered, be sure to exercise your civic responsibility of voting. The city that you elevate from deprivation, may be your own."
