Activist Toolkit has collaborated with community partners to build a comprehensive voter guide for the April 4, 2023 elections in Oak Park. Each candidate was given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire developed by members of the Oak Park community.
The sections linked below allow voters to explore individual candidates' websites and social media accounts, as well as links to news articles, video from candidate forums, and any relevant campaign financial disclosures.
This guide will be updated with additional content as it appears. Please contact us here with questions or concerns.
