🤩 Congratulations to Precious Brady-Davis for winning her Primary (re-)Election! Since there were no Republican or 3rd-party candidates for the MWRD board, any primary winners will advance to uncontested races in the General Election. We're delighted Precious is on her way to serving a 2nd term!

There's still time to vote! 🕖 Polls close at 7pm, and if you're in line before 7pm, it's your right to stay in line. Your vote can help ensure that community-first candidates make November's General Election ballot. 49th Ward voters: our ward polling place is Willye B White Park (1610 W Howard St).

☑️ Sarah Bury for the MWRD Commissioner because she'll rely on ethics and transparency to protect our clean water resources. ☑️ Precious Brady-Davis' re-election to MWRD Commissioner because of a great performance to date and her advocacy for our environment.

☑️ Josina Morita for State Central Committeewoman because she's a consistent community advocate and proven leader for marginalized voices. ☑️ Fritz Kaegi for Cook County Assessor because he doesn't play favorites, and he won't shy away from standing up to both parties.

There's still 2hrs to vote. Undecided on how to vote? Feel free to cheat off Maria's ballot 😉: ☑️ Juliana Stratton for U.S. Senate because the Senate desperately needs vocal leaders. ☑️ Mike Simmons for IL-9 because we deserve continued representation by someone who fights for hard working folks.

🗳 Your vote today helps decide who makes the ballot in November. Polls are open until 7pm. With so many crucial seats open for the first time in years, now is the time to make sure your voice is heard! For more information about what's on your ballot and where to vote, visit www.vote411.org.

UPDATE ‼ You may notice there's been an update to the State Central Committee line on the Illinois' 2026 Primary ballot. In each congressional district, you’ll see one race listed as "State Central Committeeperson" where you can vote for up to two candidates. The change this year...

☑ It's Primary Election Day! Today our votes will decide November's General Election ballot. It may be cold, but too much is at stake to miss casting your vote. Polls open at 6am and will close at 7pm. Plan your vote by visiting www.vote411.org. Insert your address to find your polling place.
