Who We Are

Lake County Democratic Women is a grassroots committee devoted to recruiting, educating, leading, mentoring, and supporting women who aspire to seek an elected or appointed office. We were founded in 2004 by a leadership team of women who are elected officials, past officials, and candidates.

Men are welcome to participate in our events (many do!), and we occasionally support a few good men as candidates.

Our Goals

• To increase the number of women seeking and holding elected or appointed political office in Lake County
• To support those Democratic women in Lake County seeking office by providing:
  • Campaign advice, training, and mentoring
  • Resource contacts for services necessary to run a campaign, volunteers, potential funding, and endorsement
• To support the Democratic Party and the democratic process through encouraging citizens to actively participate:
  • Be trained and serve as voter registrars
  • Serve as precinct committeepersons

Contributions are not tax deductible. A copy of our report filed with the State Board of Elections and the Lake County Clerk is
(or will be) available for purchase from the State Board of Elections, Springfield, IL. or the Lake County Clerk’s Office,
18 N. County St., Waukegan, IL 60085. State law requires that we report the occupation and name of the employer
of any individual who contributes over $500.
