Grafton Township Trustees - Diane Oltman Ayers, Chris Lawrence, and Corinna Sac, turning the township blue

Huntley CCD 158 - Independent Candidates kept right-wing extremists off the board and took back the majority
Harvard CUSD 50 - Our recommended candidates won, regaining the majority of the board from extremists
Cary CCSD 26 - A win for our candidates, maintaining a board that puts the community of students, staff, parents and taxpayers first
Crystal Lake CCSD 47 and 155- Another win for our recommended candidates
WHAT CAN I DO??
Project 2025 is happening, just like we said it would. On 2/25, House GOP passed a budget proposal straight out of the Project 2025 playbook. To extend and expand tax cuts for the ultra-rich, they are looking to cut $880 million out of Medicaid, which 1 in 4 Illinoisans depend on for their health care, some 931,000 people, and 1 in 5 in the US.
Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that covers 41% of all births, nearly half of children with special health care needs, 8 in 10 children in poverty, 5 in 8 nursing home residents, 29% of adults with mental illness, the disabled, in-home care for the elderly and disabled, and more.
Illinois will not be able to pick up the difference in costs if these federal cuts become the law. How will these cuts and more coming down the road impact our local governmental units, like the County Board, townships, school boards, etc.
