If you are looking for a change in leadership on our local Village Council, welcome to Marvin United!   We are a team of four candidates running to be your next mayor and council members to help preserve and protect the Village of Marvin we know and love.  

The candidates:

• Joseph Barbara - Mayor
• Tom Eck - Village Council
• Fred Ilarraza - Village Council
• Angel Martin - Village Council

Our platform is simple:

• Keep Taxes Low
  Marvin’s tax rate is one of the things that makes it special—and that should be protected.
• We all voted No on the GO Bonds last year.  We don't believe spending money on unnecessary things the majority aren't interested in funding makes any sense.
• Protect and Strengthen Our Ordinances
  Zoning ordinances should be respected. Variances should not be handed out like candy. Council and staff work for the residents—not for developers.
• Master Plan & Land Use Review
  It's time to revisit and update Marvin’s Master Plan and Land Use Plan to ensure they align with residents' values and long-term vision.
• Fiscal Responsibility – DOGE Spending
  We must Diligently Oversee Government Expenditures (DOGE) to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
• Restore Neighborly Spirit
  There’s too much tension between residents and council. Lawsuits should be a last resort. People want to be heard—and we are ready to listen. 
• Slow, thoughtful growth                                                                                                                          
• Transparency in government decisions
