Warrenville deserves a council that actually listens. I'm running to remove the Flock surveillance cameras, finally tackle our brutally hard water, and bring participatory budgeting to Warrenville.
Three priorities I'll bring to city council.
Warrenville residents have repeatedly asked the council to remove the Flock license-plate cameras installed around our neighborhoods. That request has gone unanswered. I'll push to take them down and put decisions like this back in residents' hands.
Warrenville's water tests at 24–26 grains per gallon of hardness — more than double the 10.5-grain threshold that defines "very hard" water. That means more scale buildup and shorter-lived appliances. I'll push the city to explore central softening so residents aren't left to solve it individually.
Residents should have a direct say in how the city spends their money. As a software engineer, I want to build technology that supports participatory budgeting — letting residents propose, discuss, and vote on how city funds are spent.
My name is Nivethan Sethupathi and I'm hoping to represent Warrenville's Ward 2. I'm originally from down the road in Wheaton, lived in Chicago for nine years, and moved to Warrenville in 2021. I'm currently a software engineer, but I also worked as a social worker in Chicago during my previous career.
I'm all about community participation in local politics. It would be an honor to represent you!
Ward 2 wins this by showing up. Here's how to help.
Let people on your street know a candidate is actually listening on Flock cameras and water quality.
Help with canvassing, yard signs, or a few hours at a community event before election day.
Make sure you're registered at your current Ward 2 address and have a plan to vote.
