Lauren Duddles

St. Charles City Council, Ward 5

Mother, mental health advocate, community organizer, and former teacher.

I am the best candidate for Ward 5 City Council in St. Charles because I have a deep connection to this community and a passion for its future.

As a longtime resident of St. Charles, a mother of two, a mental health advocate, and a former teacher, I understand our city's challenges and opportunities. I’ve dedicated my life to supporting others, from the classroom to community organizing, and I’m committed to bringing that same compassion and determination to city leadership. With an inclusive mindset and a focus on efficient, effective solutions, I will work tirelessly to strengthen our community and ensure it remains a welcoming and thriving place for everyone.
