New Trier votes for Democrats.

…but this wasn’t always so!

Much of our township was represented by Republicans at the state and federal level for a hundred years. Through tough organizing, countless conversations, phone calls, and events, recruitment of outstanding candidates, and old-fashioned hard work, New Trier has become a Democratic stronghold in the state of Illinois.

We take nothing for granted.

We believe the Democratic Party shares our vision for our country and shares the values of our community. That’s why, every election and every primary, New Trier Democrats are keeping busy, working hard, and listening to our neighbors in constant effort to earn our Democratic majorities.

We believe in a government that is fair, honest, responsive, effective, & compassionate

Bob Lepkowski & Tango!

Meet our 2024 Judith Mandel Volunteer of the Year

Bob Lepkowski & Tango have become familiar faces at the New Trier Democrats β€” passing sample ballots, delivering yard signs, opening the office, and playing fetch. Bob & Tango led the widely-acclaimed β€œBob & Tango Yard Sign Delivery Service” across the township, delivering dozens of Harris-Walz yard signs to our Democratic members.
