Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns is seeking a seventh turn at the helm.
Burns joined other suburban candidates who filed on Tuesday to run for mayor, city councils, school boards and other local elected positions.

Here is an early look at who is running for municipal offices in Kane County:

Incumbent Mayor Lora Vitek, seeking her second term, is being challenged by former Kane County judge Clint Hull. Both filed their petitions on Tuesday.
Incumbent aldermen Ron Silkaitis (Ward 1), Ryan Bongard (Ward 2), Bryan Wirball (Ward 4) and Steve Weber (Ward 5) filed for reelection. Vicki Spellman is seeking the 4-year Ward 3 post, and incumbent Robert “Bob” Gehm is seeking the 2-year Ward 3 post.
