Greg Hart is an accomplished leader, management consultant, and former DuPage County Commissioner who represented nearly 1 million residents in the western suburbs of Chicago from 2017-2023. Greg was appointed to the County Board in 2017 by Chairman Dan Cronin and was subsequently elected to a full, four-year term in 2018 at the age of 30 – becoming the first millennial to serve on the board of Illinois’ second largest county.

In 2022, Greg won the Republican nomination for DuPage County Board Chairman with nearly 60% of the vote. He raised over $2.2 million for his high-profile 2022 campaign – a record in the State of Illinois for a local race outside of Cook County. A self-described “next generation” Republican with fiscally conservative and socially moderate views, Greg received more votes than any other GOP candidate in a competitive race north of I-80 during the 2022 general election. While he fell just 1.5% short in capturing the chief executive position in increasingly blue DuPage County, Greg outperformed GOP gubernatorial nominee Darren Bailey by 15% - winning the votes of Republicans, Independents, and many Democrats.

During his time as a Commissioner, Greg led DuPage’s response to the opioid epidemic as Co-Chair of the Heroin-Opioid Prevention & Education (HOPE) Taskforce. His leadership of the HOPE Taskforce won DuPage County two national achievement awards from the National Association of Counties for innovation. During the final year of Greg’s tenure as Co-Chair, opioid overdoses in DuPage decreased by 9%, outperforming state and national averages. As a result, he is widely credited with establishing DuPage as a national leader in fighting substance use disorder. Greg also served as Chairman of DuPage County’s Technology and Human Services Committees, where he respectively led the largest investment in IT infrastructure in the last quarter century and saved taxpayers one million dollars annually by implementing operational efficiency practices. Greg was consistently rated as the most bipartisan member of the DuPage County Board. He was one of the only Republican votes on a host of hot-button issues.

Greg also spearheaded a “first of its kind” initiative to form new business enterprise programs for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned firms in DuPage County. Outside of politics, Greg serves as a Senior Managing Consultant and Equity Holder at Point B, Inc., where he advises governments and Fortune 100 clients on how to implement organizational change, lead technological transformations, and launch innovative social impact strategies. He recently advised a major US pharmaceutical giant on the development of an industry-leading carbon abatement and water use reduction program involving over 18,000 employees across 50 countries.

Greg is currently advising a consortium of toll highway authorities on the use of blockchain technology to increase efficiency, reduce processing times and build interoperability between public and commercial tolling entities. Greg graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and received his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Greg is philanthropically active in Chicagoland, serving on the Board of Directors for the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, the Boy Scouts of America and the Selection Committee for the Edgar Fellows Program. He lives in Hinsdale with his wife Alexandra and his three young children Madeleine, George, and Catherine.
