Tony Blumberg is the most qualified candidate for City Council.

In this election we will have a new mayor and at least three new members of the city council. The single most important qualification for that post is experience. Of all the candidates for City Council, Tony Blumberg possesses the most relevant experience. We do not know what we will be faced with in the coming term. Experience is more important than opinions about past issues.

Tony Blumberg is a lifelong resident of Highland Park. He grew up here and raised his family here. His parents retired here in the Highland Park home in which Tony grew up in. From graduating from the Highland Park Community Nursery School to serving on the board of the Community Family Center, Tony has been involved in our community at every level throughout his life.
