City council member Corey Dixon is seeking to become Elgin's first Black mayor as he challenges incumbent David Kaptain in the April election. Kaptain is trying to win a fourth term in office.
Elgin Mayor David Kaptain will have to defeat a city council member to win a fourth term in the April election.
Dixon, who works for the Kane County sheriff's office as senior assistant director of administration, formerly served on the Elgin Image Advisory Commission and the city's planning and zoning commission. His current term on the city council runs until 2025. Dixon said he'd also address homelessness in the city, continue to push for social justice reform, and fill positions the council created in last year's budget plan for a Spanish language translator and a director of diversity, equity and inclusion.
"It would be history-making," he said."But what's at the forefront of my mind is being a representative of all the folks of Elgin."
