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.
