“Schaumburg government has grown to a size we can no longer financially afford. More than $500 million in debt - which is higher than many neighboring communities our size - is more than we can manage. It’s time to tighten our belts and live within our means. The days of extravagance and reckless spending need to stop.” - Nafees Rahman

“As a former Chief Executive Officer, I learned you have to make tough decisions and they won’t always be
popular. But as your village president, I will do the right thing for you the residents of Schaumburg. That’s what real leadership is all about.” - Nafees Rahman
Embrace Our Community’s Diversity
• Diversify our workforce and administration to reflect our population
• Pass an ordinance requiring first preference for employment to qualified Schaumburg residents
