Election season is here—and the future of Lake County depends on what we do next.
If we want to win in November 2026, we must act now. Success begins with contesting every race possible and recruiting bold, capable leaders, who are committed to protecting and advancing our Democratic values.
Right now, we have critical seats that must be filled, and the best candidates are often hiding in plain sight. They are the coworkers who step up, the neighbors who serve on boards, the volunteers who show up again and again for our community. Many of them have never imagined running for office—but with encouragement and support, they could be exactly the leaders Lake County needs.
That’s where you come in.
We are asking you to nominate potential candidates and help us start the conversation. We have the experience, infrastructure, and resources to help them run professional, competitive campaigns—and to win.
Please email Roberta MacIntyre, a member of the Lake County Democrats Elections Committee at inspect2901@gmail.com with:
- The candidate’s name and contact information
- A few sentences explaining why you believe they would be a strong leader
We will personally follow up to discuss the opportunity and next steps.
The path to a brighter future starts with one conversation.
Let’s inspire the next generation of Democratic leaders—together.
