Ernest Swierk Candidate for LHS District 210 Board of Education

04/02/2025

Less than 1 in 5 people deciding the future of our schools, our kids, and our community.
Only 15.86% of registered voters in our town showed up to vote.

📉 We can’t keep saying “things need to change” while sitting on the sidelines.
Voting isn’t just a right—it’s a responsibility.
Let’s do better next time.

I ran for the Lemont High School Board to make a difference.
I didn’t win this time, but I gained something more valuable:
✅ New friends
✅ Lessons learned
✅ A stronger voice
✅ And a deeper drive to keep going

🌱 Change starts in our own backyard. If we don’t take care of it, weeds grow.
It’s time for more of us to step up, speak out, and show up.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated but stayed quiet
This is your sign.
Let’s keep growing. Together.
💪

Just a thought for today!!!

Help me help our community especially our KIDS!!!
All I can do now is ask everyone for your VOTE!

03/28/2025

Where are the results???
People ask me what is my plan?!?

What's going on with the capital improvement plan they raised taxes for, where's the plan to improve academic performance, why are meetings not televised, etc, etc, etc?

You can vote for the same Board member and the same old empty words or someone that actually has kids in Lemont school!

Vote SMART!
OUR KIDS OUR FUTURE!!!

“We don’t need a rubber stamp—we need real leadership. I’ll ask questions, challenge decisions, and always put students first.

This makes me want to fight for our kids even more!!!

As filmmaker and writer Nora Ephron said during a '96 commencement address at Wellesley College, "Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours

I promise the Lemont community that I will fight for full transparency.

Parents deserve to be engaged, informed, and involved. Making board meetings accessible—like broadcasting them live—is one step toward that.

This candidate for LHS school board in 2023 was fighting for this as well. But as you can see, nothing has been done by our board to address parental concerns.

Actions speak louder than words. Our kids deserve better.
