Christopher is a lifelong resident of Downers Grove and a dedicated public servant with a proven record of leadership. First elected to the Community High School District 99 Board of Education at just 20 years old, Christopher is serving in his second term, bringing a fresh, student-focused perspective to local education.

​

A proud first-generation college graduate, Christopher earned his B.A. in Public Policy from the University of Illinois at Chicago. As the son of an immigrant father from Mexico, he understands the power of opportunity and the importance of building a future where every family can thrive. His own experience navigating post-graduation life without traditional support systems inspired his lifelong commitment to expanding opportunity and support for everyone.

​

During his tenure on the school board, Christopher addressed critical issues, including strengthening mental health resources and defending support staff from outsourcing. He served as the district delegate to the Illinois Association of School Boards' Joint Annual Conference and has been a member of both the District 99 Policy Committee and the School Association for Special Education in DuPage County (SASED) Committee since 2023, working to improve policies and services for all students.

​

Beyond his work in education, Christopher has been a strong voice for young people and working families as Co-Chair of the DuPage County Young Democrats since 2022.

​

Now, Christopher is ready to bring his passion, energy, and real-world experience to the County Board — fighting for economic opportunity, safe communities, and a brighter future for every resident of DuPage.
