This panel discussion will focus on the special challenges that women experience when they run for office in the Northwest Suburbs. Panelists already participating include Maria Peterson - previous and current candidate for state representative, and the Hon. Carina Santa Maria, Arlington Heights Village Trustee and candidate for state representative. Additional candidates are still being added.
Are you interested in running for local office - Village Office or Trustee, School Board, Library Board, or Park Board? The Candidates’ Coach Academy, is gearing up for the 2027 Municipal Elections with a series of introductory programs to help you make that decision.
The Candidates’ Coach Academy was founded by Mark Michaels in 2018 to promote bringing liberal and progressive values to local governments in the Northwest Suburbs. In 2023, the Democratic Organizations in Wheeling, Elk Grove, and Palatine Townships began sponsoring this successful program and 94% of the 2025 cadre ran successful campaigns. Barrington Township Dems have now joined us.
Participating in one or more of these introductory sessions is a first step towards being accepted into the 2027 cadre, which will be organized this June. (Petitioning for the election starts in August of this year!)
