Early Voting and Upcoming Events

Hi Fellow Democrats,

Please note this important update on early voting from the DuPage County Clerk: Due to unresolved candidate objections currently pending before the Appellate Court, early voting and vote-by-mail in DuPage County is expected to begin early next week. The commencement date will be updated on the County Clerk’s website upon receipt of the court rulings and finalization of the ballot.


Our annual Gala is in just 18 days — Sunday, February 22 at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace! Buy your Gala tickets now before they sell out!


Our keynote speaker is David Hogg, who co-founded March for Our Lives after surviving the Parkland school shooting in 2018. David also co-founded Leaders We Deserve, which works to recruit young candidates to run in races nationwide. We’ve also invited Governor JB Pritzker and all the major candidates. It's going to be an inspiring evening of democracy in action.


It has never been more important to elect good Democratic leaders here in DuPage County. Our elected officials are a key part of fighting back against Trump/GOP cruelty, stopping ICE, and expanding access to affordable healthcare and housing. For example, we have the opportunity to elect the first Democratic Sheriff in DuPage since 1845.


We will lead the effort to rally Democratic voters to the polls this year, and we need your help. Our upcoming Gala funds the entirety of our get out the vote initiatives.

In Solidarity,


Reid McCollum, Chair
