Trustee Jan Siers
I have lived in Rutland Township for almost 50 years and have seen Rutland Township grow from a farming township to a township with more subdivisions than cows.
Having attended Board meetings for most of those 50 years I have witnessed changes in leadership go from members that had little to do at meetings but approve bills and set budgets to members who take the position very seriously to make sure taxpayer money is spent wisely and for the best interest of the residents of Rutland Township.
Familiarity with past and current issues pertaining to Rutland Township and the Rutland Township Board gives me a good working knowledge of these issues and I will continue to represent the taxpayers to the best of my ability without personal or political agendas.
Trustee Richard Artz
I have lived in the Fox Valley for the past 25 years. I work at the Kane County Treasurer’s Office as a Staff Accountant. I previously served at the Kane County Circuit Clerk’s Office and the St. Charles Park District. My experience also includes serving on the Kane County Electoral Board and a two year term as Vice President of the Kane County Regional Board of School Trustees. I received my Masters in Criminal Justice and Bachelors in Political Science from Aurora University. The voters have placed their trust in me to ensure that our tax dollars are spent wisely and to maximize the length of the dollar. My experience in Kane County Government has taught me that government can always be further streamlined to enhance services and to save taxpayer’s money.

Trustee Scott Swidler
Scott Swidler
My name is Scott Swidler and I was born in Chicago and lived in the north and northwest suburbs most of my life. Currently, I have been living in Gilberts since 2002 and have watched the town and township grow at a pretty incredible pace. I'm fairly new to the political scene and want to make sure our township continues to run smoothly while it continues to grow.
With my experience as a graphic designer, I have plenty of experience with working with budgets and timelines. It's an honor to have been elected as a trustee and I look forward to working with the rest of the board and representing the constituents of Rutland Township.
