Good afternoon, Chicago.
Several DuPage County elected officials will see pay raises kick in after the November election, including a 35% salary jump for the county board chair.
The DuPage County Board has approved increases for the board chair, 12 county board members and several countywide positions, including sheriff, treasurer and clerk, all of which are up for election in the fall. The salary bumps take effect in December, when the county’s 2027 fiscal year begins.
