Mayor
Message from the Mayor
It is an honor and a privilege to preside as the 32nd mayor of our great City of Edwardsville. Our City thrives because of people like you, who truly care about the long-term success of Edwardsville. The City of Edwardsville is a great place to live, raise your family, work and run a business. My wife, Rhonda, and I have a son, AJ, and own a local business, Swing City Music. Started by my father, Arthur Risavy, Swing City Music has been in the area for close to 60 years. As mayor, I will draw on my experience as a small-business owner and my 10 years of public service as alderman to continue improving our City.
