Municipal Elections in 2019 – Support Local

November 28, 2018

MUNICIAPAL ELECTIONS IN 2019:  SUPPORT LOCAL CANDIDATES AND ISSUES

It’s important to stay informed about issues at all levels of government (e.g., Federal, State, County, Municipal).  It’s easy to just pay attention to federal and state since they get the most press.  Don’t forget the importance of local elections that have a direct impact your property taxes and other critical issues that affect our day-to-day living. 

Municipal elections are non-partisan and it’s important to know who the candidates are and how they will support the issues that are important to you.  Thank you to all of those who have stepped up and summitted petitions to run for local government in 2019 Consolidated Election.  Here are the dates (DuPage County Election Commission)
