Our next Membership Meeting is September 14th at the Naperville Municipal Building from 6:30–8:30 p.m. (sharp). We will host a County Board Forum for all 3 districts that overlap our township: 2, 3, and 5.

The DuPage County Board has several key responsibilities.

• Lawmaking — The Board creates and enacts local laws and ordinances to govern county operations and services.
• Oversight — The Board oversees county departments and agencies, ensuring they operate effectively and efficiently.
• Public Services — It manages essential services such as public health, transportation, and housing assistance.
• Policy Development — The Board develops policies that address community needs and improve quality of life for residents.

Please help us address your concerns and submit questions for our guests. Send your questions to claire@clairefordupage.com, and our committee (John Eccleston, Diane Hewitt, and I) will work to incorporate them into the program.

We will also HOLD A VOTE during this meeting to agree to endorse the candidates who were selected at the Naperville Slating meeting on August 10th. Please be aware that, per our bylaws, you must be a paid member who has attended at least 2 meetings to vote.

Here is our agenda for September 14th: go.ltdo.org/sept14 .

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.
