City of Chicago Municipal Elections

The Cook County Green Party has made no decision regarding recognition or endorsement of any candidate for mayor or alderman in Chicago.

The Cook County Green Party Locals Council has developed a questionnaire for prospective candidates. Click here for the file Image:CCGPCandidateQuestionnaire.pdf

We intend to give fair consideration to any candidate who is interested in receiving recognition as a Green Party supported candidate. The Cook County Locals Council will be holding an open meeting for interviewing candidates. Candidates who are interested in being considered should contact:
