Democrats Savor Local Wins Amid National Election Shock

Democrats knocked on doors, phone-banked and wrote postcards until their hands ached in the 2024 campaign. The hard work paid off in local races — all Lake County Democrats up for re-election won easily — but Democrats are still reeling from a heart-breaking national defeat.

Libertyville Township Democrats will celebrate our victories and strategize about next steps at our annual Holiday Party at 7 p.m. Thursday, December 5. We’ll meet in the lower-level party room of Pizzeria DeVille, 404 N. Milwaukee Ave., in downtown Libertyville.

Nonpartisan local races are just around the corner, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. If you’d like to gather petition signatures for a school board candidate or help in another way, feel free to email us for suggestions. Check here to keep up-to-date on Democratic events.

Libertyville Township Democrats are volunteers working to elect Democrats at local, state, and national levels—the official Democratic Party organization in Libertyville Township, Illinois. Despite the name, the township borders extend well beyond the village of Libertyville to include parts of Mundelein, Vernon Hills, Green Oaks, Mettawa, and Lake Forest. (See the township map.)

Our meetings are casual and friendly, and usually last about an hour. Candidates stop by and Democratic officeholders provide regular updates on local, county, and state government.
