Lisle Township Democratic Organization

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" -- Donald Trump

Chili Cook-off is December 7th!

Please join us Monday evening, December 7th, from 6:00 to 9:00 at the BubbleHouse Brewing Co., 2121 Ogden Ave., Lisle, for this year’s Lisle Township Democratic Organization Holiday celebration. We want to bring together everyone who makes this organization work!

We hope some of you will test your culinary skills and sign up to bring a traditional or veggie chili, cornbread, or handheld dessert to the event. If you’re adventurous, you might want to enter a non-traditional chili. Let’s have fun with this, and think outside of the box.

Please purchase tickets at go.ltdo.org/chili.

  • $30 for individuals
  • $10 for Young Democrats (ages 18-28)
  • Free for those under age 18 when accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are discounted by $10 for those who bring a Chili entry, and by $5 for those bringing a dessert or cornbread. If you are bringing any kind of food, please also visit the food sign-up page at bit.ly/4klwJj6 to help us plan.

Soda, wine, and several delicious beers brewed at BubbleHouse will be available for purchase.

If you have questions, contact Suzanne Kinn at suzannekinn.events@ltdo.org

All proceeds will go to support LTDO programs. We look forward to seeing you there!

Naperville Municipal 2027 Slating Meeting Results

Last Monday night, August 10th,, the unified Democratic township organizations of Naperville (DuPage, Lisle, Naperville, and Wheatland Townships Democratic organizations) met to hear from and endorse candidates for the 2027 races for Naperville Mayor, City Council, Park District, and School Districts 203 and 204. Elected PCs were given a weighted vote – equal to the number of votes they received in the 2026 primary election – to cast for candidates of their choice. The following races were not contested for endorsements and, therefore, the candidates present were endorsed:

Naperville Mayor: Benny White
Naperville City Council: Laurie Donahue, Kristine Gericke, Supna Jain, Marc Willensky
Naperville Park District: Carole Jones, Amy Phillips, John Risvold

District 203 vote totals (3 open seats / endorsements):

  • Joe Kozminski – 2774 (ENDORSED)
  • Robert Lang – 1504 (ENDORSED)
  • John Doyle – 1241 (ENDORSED)
  • Maura Boland – 1170
  • John LaLoggia – 175

District 204 – 4 year term vote totals (3 open seats / endorsements):

  • Shelby Schultz – 1521 (ENDORSED)
  • Mark Rising – 1361 (ENDORSED)
  • Andrew Bernard – 1341 (ENDORSED)
  • Stefanie Harrison – 1067

Additionally, Bertha Jackson has been endorsed for the 204 / 2 year term position.

We encourage all PCs, Democratic elected officials, volunteers, and voters in their districts to support the endorsed candidates. They will all be collecting petition signatures for the next few weeks and the election will be in April 2027.
