Record Number of Democratic Candidates

Hi Fellow Democrats,

We have more Democratic candidates running for office across BluePage County than ever before! It's an amazing group of qualified, experienced, and caring Democrats who will fight for the economic well-being and rights of EVERY resident. Thanks to everyone who helped circulate and sign their petitions. 

Exciting news! The County Chairs Association (IDCCA) shared that DuPage collected more signatures for the statewide incumbents than any county in the state other than Cook — we truly have a powerhouse group of candidates, PCs, township Dem orgs and volunteers.

BECOME A PRECINCT COMMITTEEPERSON (PC):
It's not too late to become an elected Precinct Committeeperson! You have until Monday, Nov. 3 to circulate and submit your 10+ signatures and paperwork. PCs are elected volunteers who serve as the beating heart of our Party. Petition packets to run for PC are 
available here on the County website. Here are the notary hours at the DPDC office. Just reply to this email and we'll help walk you through the easy process to become a PC.


In Solidarity,


Reid McCollum, Chair

Thousands in DuPage Show Solidarity at No Kings Protests

Hi Fellow Democrats,

More than ten thousand patriotic citizens across DuPage County attended No Kings protests this past Saturday, joining an estimated seven million across the country and internationally! The overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations were more than a symbolic gesture — they showed that the people are against Trump's authoritarianism and that we are not afraid of his threats to label patriotic citizens as domestic terrorists. 

Candidate and Precinct Committeeperson (PC) filing begins next Monday, Oct. 27 and ends on Monday, Nov. 3.


PCs can return their packets to the office and we will file them on your behalf, or you can coordinate with your township Democratic organization.


It's not too late to run for PC! Watch this webinar we hosted with the Young Dems to learn more, or just reply to this email. PCs are elected volunteers who serve as the beating heart of our Party. Petition packets to run for PC are available here on the County website. Here are the notary hours at the DPDC office. 

In Solidarity,


Reid McCollum, Chair
