Action Party Is Seeking Candidates

The Action Party of Morton Grove announced this week it is continuing its tradition of holding open screening sessions to seek candidates, this time for the upcoming municipal elections in April of 2013. 

Screening sessions will be scheduled in mid-September to accommodate those applicants seeking to run for the offices of Village President, Village Clerk and three seats for Village Trustee, said a statement from Village Trustee Maria Toth.

"The Action Party  prides itself on its open and inclusive process to seek out residents who are not only interested in running for office on the Village Board, but who also may be interested in volunteering their time in other capacities to help keep Morton Grove the great place it is to live, work and raise a family," Toth wrote in the statement.
