Democrats are welcome to attend the Thursday, October 9, meeting of the Libertyville Township Democrats. We’ll meet at 7 pm in the basement meeting room of Cook Memorial Library, 413 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville. We’ll have an update on nominating petition efforts for the 2026 elections and vote on adding a new member to the Executive Board. Jeanine Chyna, a longtime Democratic volunteer, has been nominated to fill the vacancy for Vice Chair following Jennifer Khan’s resignation.

In America, we will never bow down to chaos, corruption, and cruelty. On the next No Kings protest, we’ll show up stronger and more organized than ever before. Make sure your voice is heard on Saturday, October 18, from 10am to noon.
