TrusteeLisaStone-Buffalo Grove-IL

Lisa Stone of Buffalo Grove, IL is a human rights activist who served on the Buffalo Grove Board of Trustees from 2009-2010. She was asked to run for office by, then, Lake County Commissioner Dave Stolman. Her platform was to alert and educate the community about the rise of the opioid crisis. Once elected, citizens brought concerns to Lisa about their safety, health, and the general welfare of their community. Though steadfast in her attempts to bring these issues to the board's attention, the board did not agree with her. As a result, Lisa became the first elected official in the state of Illinois to be recalled. Even so, Lisa has remained just as dedicated to pursuing the issues she cares most deeply about. After serving on the board for Buffalo Grove, Lisa co-founded the Lake County-Vernon Township Coalition for Safe Drinking Water and the Clean Water Act.
