How to Run for Elected Office

April 30, 2018 – How does one run for elected office in La Grange? The Citizens’ Council of La Grange will help answer that question during their Election 101 event. During this meeting, attendees will learn what it takes to run for local office and how to get endorsed by the Citizens’ Council.

The event, which will take place on Wednesday, May 9, 7:30 p.m. at Village Hall, will allow those interested in running for office to get their questions answered and to also pick up their Prospective Candidate Data sheets. Part educational event, part CCLG standard monthly meeting, the goal is total civic-minded enjoyment for all.

The Citizens’ Council, founded in 1941, is a nonpartisan, non-profit, volunteer organization that seeks, evaluates and recommends candidates for local office in the Village of La Grange. Its primary focus is to find the best-qualified candidates for the Village of La Grange, La Grange Library Board of Trustees and the Park District of La Grange Board of Commissioners. Equally important, the Council strives to keep its members - and all residents - informed on key issues in local government.

The Citizens’ Council is interested in maintaining a membership that is diverse and represents multiple viewpoints from all areas of the Village of La Grange. They encourage the citizens of La Grange get involved. To learn more, join us at our monthly meetings.
