The final day of candidate filing added four more contested village president and mayoral races in the Fox Valley to what was already shaping up to be a spring election with possible sweeping changes in local government.

Geneva, East Dundee, Hampshire and West Dundee will all have contested races for the top spot in local government.

Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns has been part of the city government since 1997. To keep that streak alive, he’ll face a rematch of the 2017 election. Resident Tom Simonian will take another shot at unseating Burns.

Simonian has remained highly critical of the way things are done in Geneva over the last four years. He lost to Burns by about 1,500 votes in their first contest.

In East Dundee, Village President Lael Miller will face current Trustee Jeff Lynam.

In West Dundee, incumbent Village President Christopher Nelson will take on newcomer Joseph Connell.

And in Hampshire, incumbent Village President Jeffery Magnussen will take on Trustee Michael Reid Jr., whose term on the village board is expiring.

Those three races join St. Charles, Sugar Grove and Aurora, where the mayoral and village president spots are also contested.

In St. Charles, aldermen Maureen Lewis and Lora Vitek will go against each other to fill the seat being vacated by Mayor Ray Rogina. Rogina is not seeking a new term.

Longtime Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels will be challenged by Trustee Jennifer Konen.

And three people are seeking the position of mayor in Aurora: incumbent Richard Irvin, alderman Judd Lofchie and resident John Laesch. Aurora candidates filed their petitions in November.

LeJewel Crigler became the fourth candidate to file for a seat on the Elgin Area School District U-46 school board. Incumbents Melissa Owens and Veronica Noland seek new terms. Newcomer Dawn Martin also seeks a seat. Incumbent Donna Smith is not seeking reelection. There are three 4-year school board seats open.

The St. Charles Unit District 303 school board will have a new president after the spring election. Current President Nick Mannheim is not seeking reelection, but incumbents Heidi Fairgrieve, Ed McNally and Carolyn Waibel all seek new terms. Newcomers Kate Bell and Jim Stombres seek to join the board for the first time. There are four 4-year board seats open.
