Your neighbors. Your county. Your voice. 🇺🇸 St. Charles County deserves a Council that listens, shows its work, and answers to the people it serves. That’s exactly why I’m running. For 15+ years, I’ve worked to make public services work better for the people who depend on them, from public safety to GIS and data analysis. I’ve seen what happens when decisions are made with good information and open doors. I want to bring that approach to District 7. Here’s what I’ll work to deliver: ✅ Comm

This campaign has been a wild ride. 🌊 I won’t pretend it’s all been smooth. There have been plenty of ups and downs. But no matter what happens next week, I put in the effort, and I’m proud of everything I was able to do. I moved here not knowing anyone, and I never planned to stay. Then I fell in love with this community, and of course my husband Tony and it became home. It’s the same community I hope to represent. The people who know me know I do what I say I’m going to do. I hope to prove

I understand how important your vote is. When you give it to me, you’re trusting me to represent you, and I don’t take that lightly. Thank you. I know trust has to be earned. To me, representing you isn’t just about showing up to County Council meetings every two weeks. It’s about showing up prepared. That means: ✔️ Doing the work before the meeting ✔️ Building relationships with county leaders and employees so I know the issues before they reach the agenda ✔️ Telling you about upcoming projec

Part of my job at the City and County was making sure that when someone called 911, the address on the screen matched the real world. A street that’s off by one block is a small mistake on a map. If it’s your street and your emergency, it’s a BIG one. Years of that taught me something I still believe: the details matter, and so does whoever’s responsible for getting them right. I’m Monica Balestreri, and I’m running for St. Charles County Council in District 7. I’m a map nerd, not a career pol

Cut waste. Protect your tax dollars. Every dollar the county spends is your dollar, and you deserve to know it's being spent wisely. I'm Monica Balestreri, and I'm running for St. Charles County Council, District 7, to bring data-driven leadership to county government. I've spent 15+ years in public safety and GIS, starting as a crime analyst with the St. Charles City Police Department and later supporting 911, fire, and EMS at St. Charles County Emergency Communications. Today I work in trans

Here's my why: I've spent over a decade in public safety and emergency communications; analyzing data and making sure people got help when they need it most. But there's a moment that changed everything for me. While working for the county, an analysis I had worked on caught the eye of an elected official. He didn't agree with it. Not because it was inaccurate but because it didn't support his political position. He let me know that. Loudly. In that moment, I made myself a promise: one day, I

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
