Support the Caucus Committee Endorsed Candidates at the Annual Meeting on October 6, 2026!

We are excited to share the full list of proposed candidates for Mayor, City Council and School Boards!

​

The Caucus Committee has spent the past few months working hard to recruit, vet, and recommend candidates for endorsement at our upcoming Annual Meeting. Countless hours of work have gone into this effort.

​​​

You can learn more about the proposed candidates for Mayor, City Council and D67 & D115 School Boards below.

 

Come meet the proposed candidates at a Meet and Greet on October 1st at Gorton Center from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. It is a great chance to hear why each candidate is being recommended.

​

Please vote on each proposed candidate at the Annual Meeting on October 6th at Gorton Center from 12 to 8 pm.

​

And lastly, to be eligible to vote at the Lake Forest Caucus Annual Meeting, you must be a registered voter with residency in Lake Forest.  ID will be required. At Gorton Center, you will be provided a paper ballot and vote on each candidate individually. After polls close, at least two Caucus Committee members count and verify the ballots. Each candidate needs a majority to be endorsed. Results will be shared by email as soon as possible!
