"Today, Farm Team PAC announced its endorsement of 24 exceptional local candidates for the April 1, 2025 municipal election. The Farm Team PAC was founded by Congresswoman Lauren Underwood in 2019 to elect exceptional candidates to state and local office across the 14th congressional district.
Of the announcement, Congresswoman Lauren Underwood said, “Every election matters -- and I am proud to endorse these thoughtful, dedicated leaders who are committed to working hard for our communities across northern Illinois. Voters across Naperville, Plainfield, Aurora, Oswego, Yorkville, Montgomery, Newark, Plano, and Cortland can confidently head to the polls to elect these qualified candidates for our cities and towns, school boards, and park districts.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve heard from so many neighbors concerned about the cruel chaos of Washington. They’re urgently asking me - ‘what can I do?’ Friends, we have an election in 36 days, and together, we will reject extremism and bring positive change to local government.”
