Lake Forest, together.

My name is Amy Stevens, and Lake Forest is my home. I am a District 4 mom, homeowner, and community advocate running for City Council because local government should be practical, responsive, and grounded in the everyday needs of residents.

With more than 20 years of experience helping organizations communicate clearly, solve problems, and navigate complex issues, I am ready to bring a steady, solutions-first approach to public service.

This campaign is about getting the basics right: safe streets, well-maintained neighborhoods, a strong local economy, and thoughtful planning for Lake Forest’s future.

I will listen, be transparent, and show up for our community.

What we can do, together.

Well-Maintained Roads

& Safe Streets

Safe streets start with getting the basics right. I’ll prioritize well-maintained roads, practical solutions to neighborhood traffic and speeding, and a balanced approach to e-bike safety that combines education, clear rules, and appropriate enforcement.

Lake Forest should be a place where neighborhoods are well cared for and local businesses can thrive. I’ll focus on caring for our trees and landscaping, well-maintained parks and public spaces, and attracting the restaurants, shops, and services our community wants.

& Local Businesses

Good planning means looking beyond the next budget cycle. I’ll approach growth thoughtfully, make sure infrastructure is part of the conversation, prepare for emergencies, and protect the strong fiscal foundation that allows Lake Forest to serve residents well.

Our Campaign, Powered by Community

This campaign is built by neighbors, for neighbors. Every contribution helps us reach more people, have more conversations, and keep this effort grounded in what Lake Forest needs most. If you believe in what we’re building together, I would be grateful for your support.
