Vote Lafayette Gatling III For Village Trustee
Why Am I Running?
I want to serve our community by listening to residents and working together to bring our shared vision for Olympia Fields to life. I truly believe in the potential of Olympia Fields and want to see our community thrive. I would love for residents to have access to everything they need right here in our village, to see businesses filling our vacant lots, and to foster a sense of growth and opportunity for everyone. Like many of my neighbors, I take great pride in our community, and I know we can build an even stronger, more vibrant village together.
About Me
My wife and I have been married for many years, and we have called Olympia Fields home for the past eight years, raising our three young children here. This community means a great deal to my family, and I would love the opportunity to serve in a trustee capacity to contribute even more.For over 18 years, I have had the privilege of serving families in the funeral profession, which has strengthened my ability to be respectful, empathetic, and professional in all situations. In addition, I have spent the last five years as a Financial Analyst and Project Manager, overseeing projects and managing financial systems. I believe my experience in both service and leadership has prepared me to listen, collaborate, and help support the needs of our community.
A Message To My Neighbors
I would be truly honored to serve our community in this role. As a man of faith, I deeply value honesty and hard work, and I believe that leadership is a responsibility, not a privilege. If given the opportunity, I promise to remain committed, transparent, and dedicated to the people who entrust me with this position. My goal is to put our village first and work to help Olympia Fields continue to grow and thrive.
