Annual Meeting October 30

The Lake Forest Caucus Annual Meeting is an extremely important event on the calendar. This is the community’s opportunity to affirm the Caucus Committee’s endorsed candidates for elected positions in the April 1, 2025 Consolidated Election.

The Caucus Committee has spent the past few months working hard to recruit, vet and recommend candidates for endorsement at our upcoming Annual Meeting. Countless hours of work have gone into this effort.

We are excited to share the full list of proposed candidates for Mayor, City Council and D67 & D115 School Boards.

Nearly 100 community members were interviewed as part of the Caucus Committee process that resulted in these recommendations. We thank the many residents who participated in the process for their time, commitment and willingness to serve. Lake Forest is full of amazing volunteers.

Join us on October 30 at Gorton Center to affirm each candidate. Voting will be open between 2pm and 8pm. You can sign up for reminders here.

To be eligible to vote at the Lake Forest Caucus Annual Meeting on October 30th, you must be a registered voter with residency in Lake Forest. ID will be required. The Caucus Committee checks IDs against an up-to-date registered voter list, obtained through the Lake County Clerk’s office, to verify you are a registered voter in Lake Forest. If you are registered to vote in another state, you will not be permitted to vote at the Annual Meeting. We are committed to making voting as easy as possible. Please come prepared and it will be a smooth process.
