The Prairie Green Party is looking for candidates to run in the general election. As an established party, we can slate candidates for any seat left vacant after the primary. The deadline for slating candidates for the general election is drawing near (April 7th).

Our current local candidates are in County Board Districts 7 (Walter Pituc and Kostas Yfantis) and District 8 (Joe Futrelle). There are seven other County Board districts that are currently uncontested. As of now, the Green Party is the only party providing a choice for these races in November.

We'd like to provide choices in the other districts as well. In addition to the County Board seats, there's Countywide races for the States Attorney, Coroner, Recorder, Auditor, and Circuit Clerk. State Representative and Congress are also up for election in November.

Running for office is not nearly as frightening as it may seem, and can be a very rewarding experience! We need Greens to run, keep our issues in the public eye, win some races, and start to make a change in our government.

If you're interested in running for any of these positions, or have any questions, please contact info@prairiegreens.org.
