Scaman wins re-election easily as Oak Park village president
Vicki Scaman will remain Oak Park’s village president after a decisive victory.
Scaman earned re-election as Oak Park’s top elected official Tuesday night, winning more than 62% of the vote to best Village Trustee Ravi Parakkat. She won election with a bigger margin than she did in her first bid, in which she beat Cate Readling with 56% of the vote.
Scaman, who’s served as an elected official at Village Hall since she was elected village clerk in 2017, took the stage at her victory party at The Carleton Hotel flanked by her young granddaughters. She said she was humbled by the support she got on election night.
“I looked out there and just saw love, I saw gratitude, I just feel like I’m so lucky,” Scaman said. “It’s the people in that room that keep me grounded, that keep me learning, that keep me listening, that challenge me. They trust me even though we don’t know what’s coming next.”
