2013 Election: Ferenc Vandor, Woodridge Mayoral Race

Read Ferenc Vandor's candidate bio on Patch.

What is the primary reason you are running for this office? I have been a resident of Woodridge since 1983.  I want to bring about a breath of fresh air to Woodridge.  This is my second run for mayor.  I ran in 1996.

If your race is contested, what sets …
