Inside the D86 Vote Yes campaign with Hinsdale residents Kari Galassi and Jeff Waters PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARCELLO RODARTE
Following the successful passage of the District 86 facilities referendum on April 2, Hinsdale Magazine visited with Hinsdale residents Kari Galassi and Jeff Waters, who were among the most influential people in securing the passage of the ballot measure. Galassi and Waters spearheaded the D86 Vote Yes campaign, which parlayed the generous donations of hundreds of community members into a successful effort that employed television, print and online advertising, as well as traditional yard-signs across District 86. The result was a referendum that passed by about a 60 to 40 margin—among the largest for school initiatives in the Chicago metropolitan area over the past several years.
