Donald E. Stephens (March 13, 1928 – April 18, 2007) was the first village president (mayor) of Rosemont, Illinois, US.
Stephens, born in Chicago, is believed to have been the longest-serving mayor in the United States at the time of his death.
He was in the middle of serving his thirteenth consecutive four-year term as mayor of the suburban Cook County village; he almost exceeded the Illinois record for longest-serving mayor, set by Frank Caliper of Colp.
[1] Stephens was also an avid collector of Hummel figurines and established a museum holding his collection in Rosemont.
[1] In 1983, Stephens was indicted, in separate prosecutions, for tax fraud and bribery, but was acquitted on both charges.
