Letters in Support of Vicki

“Vicki consistently shows her dedication to hearing from all of the voices in Oak Park and she pays attention to the input. Her approach as a leader is to prioritize transparency, communication and collaboration.”

— Nora and Tony Abboreno

President Scaman has proven, during her 20+ years of service to the village of Oak Park that she shares our passion and dedication to public safety. She has shown that she will prioritize the well-being and safety of our community and residents through support and implementation of public safety advancements. “

— Bob Toth, President, International Association Fire Fighters Local 95

“In terms of character traits, Vicki displayed intelligence, fortitude, grace, and poise as she partnered with her colleagues on the six village boards to address our community’s challenges, such as the pandemic, economic downturns, housing shortages, and staffing issues.”

— James Gates

I admire her regional approach to addressing public safety, climate change, economic development, and other challenges, and the way she works with local, state, and federal officials on behalf of our community. (One proof of Vicki’s commitment to a collaborative regional approach is the number of local elected leaders who came out in support of her.)”

— Carollina Song

“Oak Park faces serious challenges that are not unique to an urban suburb. The current board, under President Scaman’s leadership, has made remarkable progress on critical issues facing our village.”

— Susan Buchanan, Trustee

“The village is indeed fortunate to have someone like Vicki who brings exceptional integrity to the table, and combines it with the vision and understanding necessary to set the right course, and the drive and determination to then get us across the finish.”

— Ray Heise, Former Oak Park Village Attorney

“I've known Vicki since long before her term as Village President - I've seen her love for this community, her willingness to show up in discomfort, her ability to apologize when necessary. Those are admirable qualities, and not common in an elected official.”

— Brynne Hovde
