Congressman Brad Schneider at Zion City Hall

Blue Wave Sweeps Lake County!

The final election results were certified on November 20th, and in a classic example of "every vote counts", our own Zion resident and Democratic Committeeman John Idleburg was declared the winner in the race for Lake County Sheriff by less than 200 votes! John joins Holly Kim ( Lake County Treasurer) and Robin O'Connor (Lake County Clerk) in flipping three countywide offices from Republican to Democratic control. Also, the Lake County Board flipped from a Republican to Democratic majority, and Joyce Mason became the first Democrat to ever be elected to the office of State Representative for the 61st district!

Congressman Brad Schneider will continue to serve the 10th District, and with Statewide wins for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, Secretary of State, and Comptroller, the Democratic party is set to present a progressive agenda to get Illinois moving again.

Congratulations to all of our candidates, and after a well deserved rest, let's get ready for the April 2019 Consolidated General Election for municipal offices and school districts, there is still time to file nomination petitions for that election, so don't wait. Remember that 2020 is not that far off, and we can build on today's victories for tomorrow's.
