Chapek, 68 and a Democrat, has never held public office. He is a member of the North Ridgeville Democratic Committee. The United States Army veteran and graduate of Lorain County Community College and Ohio University is retired from a 45-year career in research and development and quality assurance management.
If elected, Chapek would like to attract jobs and commerce, maximize and preserve home values, tackle flooding issues, support collective bargaining rights, minimize traffic congestion, maximize pedestrian safety and ensure maximum government transparency.
He said he will achieve this by reforming zoning ordinances and following through with city ordinance enforcement. He also would like to see green space expansion and more bike paths and sidewalks within city limits.
Chapek said collaboration between leaders is key to bringing jobs to the city.
“I will work to attract more jobs to North Ridgeville by meeting with state and local governments to see how to attract more businesses,” he said.
