• He is a Horticulturist.
• I formed an advisory committee comprised of local government officials and community residents. The Forest Preserve District is hosting sit-downs with municipalities and park districts.
• I attend many homeowners’ meetings.
• I insist on best science practices for our natural resources.
• I have voted for 6 major habitat improvements, 2 of which are in Springbrook Prairie and 2 in Greene Valley Forest Preserves. Habitat improvements have seen the return of the Lark Sparrow, a bird that reportedly has not been seen in DuPage for forty years.
• I have worked on maintaining a balanced budget and developing a budget plan that has balanced our General Fund for the next 5 years.
• I sit on the Friends of St. James Farm Committee and had significant input to the approved Master Plan that will restore hundreds of acres to wildlife habitat, improve recreational opportunities, including equestrian facilities, and will offer cultural opportunities, too. The restoration plan will provide numerous research opportunities that will develop a guide for other restoration in our preserves and across the nation

From a flyer I got in the mail. Paid for by the ~DuPage County Republican Central Committee.

“Our Forest Preserves are a gift that we pass from one generation to the next. Let's enjoy what others have given us and be careful to pass along something better than we received.” -Carl Schultz, Commissioner

~DuPage County enjoys one of the finest forest preserve districts in America.

Carl is committed to building on this firm foundation. He has worked to keep balanced budgets and to provide a strong base that will enable the District to have balanced budgets for the next 5 years and beyond. He is a strong advocate for open space and habitat improvements, which provides us all with a respite from our hectic lives and a healthier environment. He supports recreation and education, opening an education center, miles of award winning recreational trails, and more.

Carl lives in Aurora with his wife Caryn and two daughters, Mary and Allie. He is a degreed Horticulturist and is self-employed, consulting horticulture to ~DuPage residents since 1986.

Elect a family man… a businessman… a horticulturist.
