A Note from Chris
Competence
Honesty
Common Sense
Welcome, and thank you for being here.
I have had the privilege of serving the residents of Kane County for decades, first as a State Senator, then as elected Kane County Board Chairman, and now as your Kane County Treasurer.
In every role, my focus has been the same: honest stewardship, careful financial management, and common sense decision-making that respects taxpayers and protects county resources.
As Treasurer, I enjoy working for you and am proud of the results we are delivering. By managing county funds responsibly and investing conservatively, we are providing substantial interest income and financial resources. With your continued support, I will keep doing the work this office demands: protecting public dollars, operating transparently, and bringing the experience needed to serve as a serious and proven anti-tax-increase candidate for Kane County.
Best regards,
Why I'm Running
Improve Return on County Investments
I am committed to managing Kane County’s investments carefully and responsibly to maximize returns while protecting principal.
Through disciplined investment strategies, the Treasurer’s Office has already earned tens of millions more than projected in interest income, strengthening county finances without mandatory increases in the tax burden on families. Strong reserves help keep taxes stable and protect the county during economic uncertainty.
Serve as Your Spending Watchdog
Taxpayers deserve to know where their money goes and how it is managed.
As Treasurer, I work to ensure transparency, accountability, and clear reporting so residents, schools, and local governments can trust that public funds are handled properly and distributed accurately.
Improve Services for You and Taxpayers.
Good financial management should make government work better for people.
As Treasurer, I support best practices that:
-
Return unclaimed county and state property to its rightful owners
-
Maximize available taxpayer exemptions and deductions
-
Reduce financial losses from vacant or underutilized properties
-
Promote financial literacy and understanding across Kane County
Promises Made Promises Kept
Property Tax Relief
Debt Reduction
As Kane County elected Board Chairman, I froze the county property tax levy for eight consecutive years, saving families millions of dollars.
