Make a donation
Why are your donations needed?
To ensure that anyone can run for a public service office (not just those wealthy enough to front all the money themselves), candidates need financial contributions from their supporters.
Who can contribute?
Anyone can be an individual contributor. Donors are NOT required to live in Cook County, or even in Illinois, to contribute funds.
What are the recommended contribution levels?
Everything counts! Select a level (or you can set your own), and you’ll be taken to our donation site. THANK YOU!
